Abstract

Objectives: Our study aimed to evaluated survival results and associated factors of paclitaxel regimen chemotherapy in recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. Patients and methods: Retrospective, descriptive study on 47 patients with recurrent or metastatic of breast cancer, who were treated with paclitaxel chemotherapy regimen at National Cancer Hospital from 01/2017 to 01/2022. Results: The mean age of patients was 53.8 years old. The most common metastatic lesions were bone, lung, lymph node (mediastinal lymph node, abdominal lymph node, contralateral supraclavicular node) and liver accounting for 55.3%, 34.0%, 27.7% and 27.7%, respectively. 31 patients received the first-line regimen, accounting for 66.0%, and 16 patients received the second-line regimen, accounting for 34.0%. Median progression-free survival was 7.0 months (95% CI: 5,7-8.3). Median overall survival was 17.0 months (95% CI: 13.4-20.6). Patients with visceral metastases or patients treated in second-line regimen had a worse prognosis than patients without visceral metastases or patients receiving the first-line regimen. Conclusion: Paclitaxel regimen chemotherapy is effective in high survival time for recurrent or metastatic breast cancer with a median progression-free survival of 7.0 months and overall survival of 17.0 months.
