Abstract

Objectives: Describe of clinical and paraclinical characteristics as well as evaluate the efficacy of doccetaxel plus trastuzumab as the first-line in patients with recurrent or metastatic HER2-positive  breast cancer. Patients and methods: A retrospective and prospective descriptive study on 56 patients diagnosed with HER2-positive metastatic or recurrent breast cancer at K Hospital from January 2015 to October 2022. Result: The mean age was 53.1±14.3 years. The majority of patients relapsed after 3 years of treatment, accounting for 64.3%. The most common metastatic sites were liver, bone and lung, respectively, accounting for 44.6%, 37.5% and 26.7%. The overall response rate of the regimen was 64.3%. The complete response rate was 7.1%. 26.8% of the patients were stable, 8.9% of patients were progressive, The progression-free survival time is 7 months, the overall survival time is 41 months. Conclusion: Doccetaxel plus trastuzumab as the first-line in patients with recurrent or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer is effective in high response rates, the patient is well tolerated. Thisregimens may be more widely used in clinical practice.
