Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype shown to have a high risk of locoregional recurrence (LRR) and distant metastasis (DM). The equivalent impact of breast-conserving therapy (BCT) and mastectomy on disease-free survival in patients with early breast cancer has been established by a number of large randomized controlled trials and meta-analysis. However, ongoing dispute exists on whether TNBC is a good candidate for BCT. PURPOSE: This prospective, randomized, open, single-center Phase III clinical study is conducted to compare efficacy and safety of breast-conserving therapy and mastectomy in treating Chinese patients with early TNBC.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Disease-free survival(DFS)

    DFS is defined as time (measured in months) from initial local-regional surgical treatment until first recurrence (local or distant) or last follow-up.

    Up to 5 years post-treatment

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Locoregional recurrence-free survival(LRRFS)

    Up to 5 years post-treatment

  • Distant metastasis (DM)

    Up to 5 years post-treatment

Study Arms (2)

Breast-Conserving Therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

1. Patients undergo lumpectomy with surgical axillary staging with all lesions resected to negative margins. 2. Within 4-8 weeks after surgery, patients receive adjuvant chemotherapy as follows: TC for stage I: Docetaxel 75 mg/m + Cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m, cycled every 21 days for 4 cycles. TAC for stage II: Docetaxel 75 mg/m + Doxorubicin 50 mg/m + Cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m, cycled every 21 days for 6 cycles. 3. Within 4-8 weeks after completion of chemotherapy, patients undergo radiation therapy as follows: N0: Radiation therapy to whole breast (+boost to tumor bed). N1: Radiation therapy to whole breast (+boost to tumor bed), infraclavicular region, and supraclavicular area with or without radiation therapy to internal mammary nodes.

Mastectomy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

1. Patients undergo mastectomy (MT) with surgical axillary staging. 2. Within 4-8 weeks after surgery, patients receive adjuvant chemotherapy as follows: TC for stage I: Docetaxel 75 mg/m + Cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m, cycled every 21 days for 4 cycles. TAC for stage II: Docetaxel 75 mg/m + Doxorubicin 50 mg/m + Cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m, cycled every 21 days for 6 cycles.

Procedure: MastectomyDrug: Adjuvant Chemotherapy

Interventions

Breast-Conserving Therapy
MastectomyPROCEDURE

Patients undergo mastectomy with surgical axillary staging with all lesions resected to negative margins.

Mastectomy

Patients with stage I and II receive adjuvant chemotherapy using TC and TAC regimen respectively.

Breast-Conserving TherapyMastectomy

N0: Radiation therapy to whole breast (+boost to tumor bed) or consideration of partial breast irradiation in selected patients; (2) N1: Radiation therapy to whole breast (+boost to tumor bed), infraclavicular region, and supraclavicular area with or without radiation therapy to internal mammary nodes.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 65 Years
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Female aged 18 - 65 years old;
  • Staging of Cancer: cT1-2N0-1M0;
  • Histological confirmed with unilateral invasive carcinoma (all pathological types are applicable);
  • Definite reports on ER/PR/Her2 receptor showing all ER/PR/Her2 negative (specific definitions: immunohistochemical detection of ER \<10% tumor cells is defined as ER negative, PR \<10% positive tumor cells is defined as PR-negative, Her2 is 0\~1+ or 2+ but determined negative via FISH or CISH detected (no amplification) is defined as Her2 negative);
  • Newly diagnosed conditions allowing direct surgery without any absolute contraindication for surgery;
  • ECOG performance score is 0 or 1;
  • No mass or microscopic tumor residue after surgery resection;
  • Informed consent form signed.
  • Willing to return to enrolling institution for follow-up during the Active Monitoring Phase (the active treatment and observation portions) of the study.

You may not qualify if:

  • Bilateral breast cancer;
  • Clinical or radiographic evidence of metastatic disease;
  • Widespread disease that cannot be incorporated by local excision through a single incision that achieves negative margins with a satisfactory cosmetic result;
  • Diffuse suspicious or malignant-appearing microcalcifications;
  • Positive pathologic margin;
  • Any of ER, PR or Her2 is positive;
  • Previous neoadjuvant therapy, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy;
  • Prior history of breast cancer or any other malignant disease (except for basal cell carcinoma and cervical carcinoma in situ);
  • Severe systemic disease and/or uncontrollable infection, unable to be enrolled in this study;
  • Known allergic to taxane and anthracycline agents;
  • Pregnant and breast-feeding women;
  • With mental illness and cognitive impairment, unable to understand trial protocol and side effects and complete trial protocol and follow-ups;
  • Without personal freedom and independent civil capacity.
