Abstract

Locally advanced or metastatic disease accounts for the majority of breast cancer‑associated cases of mortality. Treatment options for patients with locally advanced or metastatic disease are limited. The current study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of apatinib combined with chemotherapy in patients with previously treated advanced breast cancer in real‑world clinical practice. A total of 85 patients with advanced breast cancer, who had previously been exposed to anthracyclines or taxanes, received combined treatment. Tumor response was evaluated by a computed tomography scan based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. Adverse events were graded based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. The Kaplan‑Meier method and a log‑rank test were used to analyze the univariate discrimination of progression‑free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) by demographic data, baseline clinical information and toxicities. The combined effects of these variables were analyzed by a Cox proportional hazards regression model. At a median follow‑up time of 9.7 months, 73 patients exhibited disease progression and 48 had succumbed to the disease. During the follow‑up, 19 patients demonstrated a partial response (PR) and 53 patients achieved stable disease (SD), with an objective response rate of 23.2%. Additionally, 39 patients demonstrated a PR or SD for ≥24 weeks, with a clinical benefit rate of 47.6%. The median PFS was 4.4 months [95% confidence interval (CI)=2.8‑6.0] and the median OS was 11.3 months (95% CI=8.9‑13.8). No treatment‑associated mortalities occurred. The most common adverse events of all grades included myelosuppression (49.4%), gastrointestinal reaction (45.9%) and fatigue (43.5%). Proteinuria was an independent predictive factor for PFS and OS. Apatinib combined with chemotherapy appeared to be efficacious for pretreated advanced breast cancer, with acceptable toxicity for real‑world clinical practice.
