TREATMENT OUTCOMES OF RIBOCICLIB PLUS FULVESTRANT IN PATIENTS WITH RECURRENT OR METASTATIC BREAST CANCER: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY AT VIETNAM NATIONAL CANCER HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects of the Ribociclib combined with Fulvestrant regimen in patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. Methods: A retrospective and prospective descriptive study. From January 2020 to July 2024, the study enrolled 40 patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative recurrent and metastatic breast cancer at K Hospital. Result: The mean age was 56.0 years (range: 36–80 years). Common sites of metastasis included bone (60.0%), lung (42.5%), and liver (35.0%). The objective response rate was 45.0%, and clinical benefit rate was 57.5%, including 2.5% of patients achieving complete response, 42.5% with partial response, and 12.5% with stable disease. Median progression-free survival was 15.9 months. Patients generally tolerated the treatment well; 47.5% required at least one dose reduction, and 5% discontinued treatment due to adverse effects. Conclusion: Treatment with Ribociclib in combination with Fulvestrant for recurrent and metastatic hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer is both effective and safe. Therefore, this regimen should be widely adopted in clinical practice.
