Brief Summary

While therapeutic strategies for HER2-positive breast cancer are well defined, there is not a standard strategy for HER2-negative tumors. Because of lack of information related to the the factors affecting the choice of a particular treatment strategy, as well as the optimization of the correct sequence of treatments, the choice of the treatment for the advanced disease remains highly empirical and may differ significantly among the different cancer centers. The purpose of this study is the observation of a cohort of patients with metastatic HER2-negative in terms of:

  1. 1.the choice of chemotherapy treatments starting from the first line of treatment;
  2. 2.factors that may influence these choices;
  3. 3.correlation among the characteristics of patients (age, menopausal status, etc.) and type of adjuvant and metastatic treatment ;
  4. 4.clinical outcome (pattern of relapse, time from diagnosis, etc.);
  5. 5.evaluation of the adherence to the literature's recommendations for therapeutic sequences in clinical practice.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number subsequent lines of treatment.

    Evaluation of correlation between treatment choice and patient characteristic ( age, menopausal status, comorbidity).

    Outcome 1 assessed up to 24 months (2012 until 2016 where applicable)

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Time to Treatment Change

    Outcome 2 assessed up to 24 months (2012 until 2016 where applicable)

  • Correlation between the type of adjuvant therapy and the type of response to the treatment

    Outcome 3 assessed up to 24 months (2012 until 2016 where applicable)

  • Evaluation of the adherence to the Consensus Conferences and Guidelines concerning the choice between the sequential therapies versus the combination therapies ( first, second, third line)

    Outcome 4 assessed up to 24 months (2012 until 2016 where applicable)

Study Arms (2)

Prospective

Observation of treatment management of patients with metastatic breast cancer that have been treated or not with hormonal therapy and candidate for a first line chemotherapeutic treatment in the years 2014-2015 will be observed until the end of the study.

Other: Observation of treatment management

Retrospective

Observation of treatment management of patients with metastatic breast cancer that have been treated with a first, second or following line of chemotherapeutic treatment for metastatic disease in the years 2012-2013.

Other: Observation of treatment management

Interventions

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Female patients from Italy with metastatic breast cancer.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (Stage IV), that have received or not the endocrine therapy for the metastatic disease and that are candidate for the first-line chemotherapy treatment in the years 2014-2015 (prospective cohort), or patients that have received a treatment of first, second or subsequent-line of chemotherapy for the metastatic disease in the years 2012-2013 (retrospective cohort).
  • Age \> 18 years
  • Availability of all information required by the study, in particular:
  • histology
  • hormone receptor status
  • grading
  • stage of disease at diagnosis
  • type of surgery for the primary tumor
  • type of adjuvant therapy (chemotherapy or hormone therapy)
  • type of medication received as adjuvant therapy
  • date and seat of the relapse
  • type of treatment received for the first / second / third-line of treatment of metastatic disease (chemotherapy or hormone therapy)
  • type of chemotherapy regimen used and details about the medication, date and seat of disease progression
  • Written informed consent (in case of the impossibility to obtain the consent in writing, eg, death of the patient, the data will be collected as required by the Guarantor, OJ N.72 of March 26, 2012)

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with metastatic disease at diagnosis
  • Patients with HER2-positive breast
  • Participation in clinical research protocols, both for the retrospective cohort and for the perspective one
