    Introduction: The impact of locoregional treatment (LRT) on survival in de novo bone-only metastatic breast cancer (dnBOMBC) is controversial. This study aims to assess the effect of LRT on survival, utilizing international, prospectively acquired data in this cohort of patients. Materials and Methods: Patients with dnBOMBC were divided into two groups: those receiving systemic therapy only (ST) and those undergoing LRT. Further, patients who received LRT were divided into two subgroups: those who received ST after LRT (LRT+ST group) and those who received ST prior to LRT (ST+LRT group). Factors associated with disease progression, including solitary or multiple bone metastases, were analyzed. Results: There was a total of 744 patients with dnBOMBC treated at each of the participating institutions between 2014 and 2022, with 372 (50%) participants in each arm. Median follow-up was 48 months (32-66, 25-75%). Patients in the LRT group were significantly younger than the ST group [50 (42, 60) vs. 55 (44, 66), p = 0.0001]. There were no significant differences in grade, HER2 status, triple-negative status, receipt of hormonal therapy, or intervention to metastatic sites. During follow-up, 58% (n = 217) of patients in the ST group and 32% (n = 120) of patients in the LRT group died (p < 0.001). Local progression was observed in 20% of the patients in the ST group, whereas 9% progressed in the LRT group (p = 0.0001). Systemic progression occurred more in the ST group; 66% (n = 244) compared to 41% (n = 152) of patients in the LRT group (p < 0.001). The hazard of death was 64% lower in the LRT group than in the ST group (HR: 0.36, 95% CI: 0.29-0.45, p < 0.0001). The burden of metastatic disease differed significantly between the two groups, with a higher rate of solitary bone metastases in the LRT group compared to the ST group (50% vs. 24%, p < 0.001). However, the LRT group had better overall survival (OS) for both solitary (HR: 0.38, 95% Cl: 0.26-0.55) and multiple (HR: 0.38, 95% Cl: 0.29-0.51) bone metastasis patients. Within the LRT group, survival rates were similar whether the breast surgery was performed before or after ST. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that LRT and ER/PR positivity significantly decrease the hazard of death (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Analysis of this large multi-institutional patient cohort provides further evidence that LRT is associated with longer OS and lower locoregional recurrence rates in patients with dnBOMBC. In breast cancer patients with bone-only metastases at presentation, the decision for LRT should be made through a multidisciplinary approach with consideration of surgical therapy at the primary tumor.

    A Pragmatic Grouping Model for Bone-Only De Novo Metastatic Breast Cancer (MetS Protocol MF22-03)
    (MDPI, 2025) Goktepe, Berk; Demirors, Berkay; Senol, Kazim; Ozbas, Serdar; Sezgin, Efe; Lucci, Anthony; Soran, Atilla
    De novo metastatic breast cancer (dnMBC) accounts for 3-10% of newly diagnosed cases, with 20-40% presenting as a bone-only metastatic disease, which can achieve survival outcomes exceeding 10 years with multimodal therapy. However, the role of multimodal therapy remains controversial in the guidelines. Objective: This study aims to identify dnBOMBC subgroups to develop a pragmatic staging system for guiding locoregional therapy decisions. Materials and Methods: Data from the MF07-01 phase III randomized trial (2021, median follow-up time (mFT): 40 months (range 1-131)) and the BOMET prospective multi-institutional registry trial (2021, mFT: 34 months (range 25-45)) were combined for analysis, including only patients who presented with bone-only metastases. Exclusion criteria were patients under 18 and those with a history of prior cancer or cancer metastases. Patients with missing data and positive surgical margins were excluded. Out of 770 patients, 589 were included. Survival analyses were first conducted according to molecular subgroups, after which patients were further stratified by hormone receptor status, human epidermal human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status, tumor grade, and clinical T (cT) stage. Group A (GrA) included hormone receptor (HR)-positive, low- or intermediate-grade tumors at any cT; HR-positive, high-grade tumors with cT0-3; or any HER2-positive tumors. Group B (GrB) included HR-positive, high-grade tumors with cT4 disease or any triple-negative (TN) tumors. Results: The hazard of death (HoD) was 43% lower in GrA than in GrB. Median OS was 65 months (39-104) for GrA patients and 44 months (28-72) for GrB patients (HR 0.57, 95% CI 0.41-0.78, p = 0.0003). Primary tumor surgery (PTS) significantly improved OS in GrA patients, regardless of the number of metastases (solitary: HR, 0.375, 95% CI 0.259-0.543, p < 0.001; multiple: HR 0.435, 95% CI 0.334-0.615, p < 0.001). Conversely, GrB patients did not experience a significant benefit from PTS. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that GrA patients have better OS than GrB patients, and PTS reduces the HoD in GrA patients compared to systemic therapy alone. These findings support using a modified staging system in dnBOBMC to identify patients who may benefit from multimodal therapy including PTS.

    A Novel First-Line Treatment Alternative for Noncomplicated Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis: Combined Intralesional Steroid Injection With Topical Steroid Administration
    (S. Karger AG, 2021) Toktaş, Osman; Konca, Can; Trabulus, Didem Can; Soyder, Aykut; Köksal, Hande; Karanlık, Hasan; Kamalı Polat, Ayfer; Özbaş, Serdar Mustafa; Yormaz, Serdar; Sezgin, Efe; Soran, Atilla
    Background: Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare form of nonlactational mastitis. Due to the small number of case series and consequently inadequate prospective studies, there is still no consensus on the optimal treatment of IGM. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of intralesional steroid injection with concomitant topical steroids to systemic steroid therapy only in the treatment of noncomplicated IGM. Methods: Between June 2015 and April 2018, the patients' data was prospectively collected and analyzed retrospectively. The study included a total of 78 female patients diagnosed with IGM. Patients were divided into 2 groups: the local steroid treatment group (intralesional steroid injection with topical steroid administration; group 1, n = 46) and the peroral systemic steroid treatment group (group 2, n = 32). Response to the therapy, side effects, recurrence, the need for surgical treatment, and complication rates were compared. Results: Forty-three patients (93.5%) in group 1 achieved a partial or complete response compared to 23 patients (71.9%) in group 2 after 3 months; this difference was significant (p = 0.012). The recurrence rates were significantly lower in group 1 (8.7%) compared to group 2 (46.9%; p = 0.001), and the need for surgical treatment was significantly less in group 1 (2.2%) than in group 2 (9.4%; p = 0.001). While the complication rates were similar between groups, a higher rate of systemic side effects was observed in group 2. Conclusion: Based on the results of our study, combined steroid injection and topical steroid treatment in IGM is as effective as systemic steroid treatment. We suggest that this combination therapy of topical steroids and local steroid injection should be used as first-line therapy in patients with noncomplicated IGM. © 2020 S. Karger AG, Basel.
