Abstract
BACKGROUND Early metastatic relapse of triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) after anthracyclins and/or taxanes based (A/T) primary treatment represents a highly aggressive cancer situation requiring urgent characterisation and handling. Epidemio-Strategy-Medico-Economical-Metastatic Breast Cancer (ESME-MBC) database, a multicenter, national, observational cohort (NCT03275311) provides recent data on this entity. METHODS All ESME patients diagnosed between 2008 and 2020 with mTNBC occurring as a relapse after a systemic neoadjuvant/adjuvant taxane and/or anthracycline-based chemotherapy were included. Early relapses were defined by a metastatic diagnosis up to 12 months of the end of neo/adjuvant A/T chemotherapy. We assessed overall survival (OS) and progression-free-survival under first-line treatment (PFS1) by early versus late relapse (≥12 months). RESULTS Patients with early relapse (N = 881, 46%) were younger and had a larger tumour burden at primary diagnosis than those with late relapses (N = 1045). Early relapse rates appeared stable over time. Median OS was 10.1 months (95% CI 9.3-10.9) in patients with early relapse versus 17.1 months (95% CI 15.7-18.2) in those with late relapse (adjusted hazard-ratio (aHR): 1.92 (95% CI 1.73-2.13); p < 0.001). The median PFS1 was respectively 3.1 months (95% CI 2.9-3.4) and 5.3 months (95% CI 5.1-5.8); (aHR: 1.66; [95% CI 1.50-1.83]; p < 0.001). Among early relapsed patients, a higher number of metastatic sites, visceral disease but not treatment types, were independently associated with a poorer OS. CONCLUSION These real-world data provide strong evidence on the dismal prognosis, higher treatment resistance and major unmet medical need associated with early relapsed mTNBC.

Neurotoxicity as a prognostic factor in patients with metastatic breast cancer treated with ixabepilone as a first-line therapy. Oncology 2014; 88:180-8.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study is a longitudinal follow-up of metastatic breast cancer patients treated with ixabepilone as first-line chemotherapy, with the aim to evaluate the association between a mechanism-based neurotoxicity and the efficacy of ixabepilone. PATIENTS AND METHODS At the 2 main investigational sites of a phase II clinical trial, 50 patients previously treated with anthracycline received ixabepilone. A chart review was performed to evaluate overall survival (OS) and time to progression (TTP) and to describe the subsequent treatments. RESULTS The severe neurotoxicity induced by ixabepilone (38%) is correlated with a higher overall response rate to ixabepilone (79 vs. 48%; p = 0.042), a longer TTP (11.4 vs. 6.8 months; p = 0.023) and a longer OS (36.6 vs. 19.9 months; p = 0.05). After ixabepilone discontinuation, patients received a median of 4 subsequent chemotherapy lines (range 1-12). Among the 31 patients who received taxanes, neither the neurotoxicity incidence under treatment with taxanes nor the response was affected by a previous occurrence under ixabepilone treatment. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that neurotoxicity development under ixabepilone treatment is a predictor of treatment outcomes as well as a favorable prognostic factor. It highlights the risk-to-benefit ratio issue of ixabepilone. We noticed the possibility to treat patients with taxanes after ixabepilone without systematic recurrent neurotoxicity.

Drug resistance and the role of combination chemotherapy in improving patient outcomes. Int J Breast Cancer 2013; 2013:137414.

Abstract
Resistance to cancer chemotherapy is a common phenomenon especially in metastatic breast cancer (MBC), a setting in which patients typically have had exposure to multiple lines of prior therapy. The subsequent development of drug resistance can result in rapid disease progression during or shortly after completion of treatment. Moreover, cross-class multidrug resistance limits patient treatment choices, particularly in a setting where treatments options are few. One attempt to minimize the impact of drug resistance has been the concurrent use of two or more chemotherapy agents with unrelated mechanisms of action and differing modes of drug resistance, with the intent of blocking the development of multiple intracellular escape pathways essential for tumor survival. Within the past decade, an array of mechanistically diverse agents has augmented the list of combination regimens that may be both synergistic and efficacious in pretreated MBC. The aim of this paper is to review mechanisms of resistance to common chemotherapy agents and to consider current combination treatment options for heavily pretreated and/or drug-resistant patients with MBC.

Abstract
Treatment selection for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is guided by multiple factors, most importantly hormone receptor (HR) or HER2 expression, treatment history, and prognostic factors such as short disease-free interval, presence of visceral metastases, performance status, and degree of symptoms. Chemotherapy is indicated as initial therapy for patients with HR-negative disease and following failure of hormonal therapies in HR-positive disease. Patients treated with an anthracycline or a taxane in early-stage settings may no longer be candidates for those drugs in MBC, thus underscoring the need for alternative options. Sequential single-agent therapy or combination therapy are viable strategies. Trials have shown that ixabepilone plus capecitabine significantly improves progression-free survival compared with capecitabine alone in anthracycline- or taxane-pretreated or -resistant patients, and single-agent eribulin improves survival compared with the physician's choice of treatment in patients treated previously with at least two regimens for MBC. Regardless of the regimen, proactive management to detect treatment-related adverse events in a timely manner remains important for ensuring effective delivery of treatment. Many promising investigational agents are in development, including T-DM1 (trastuzumab emtansine) and pertuzumab for HER2-positive disease, as well as PARP-1 (poly[adenosine diphosphate ribose] polymerase-1) inhibitors and cetuximab for triple-negative disease. In addition, new options for the treatment of MBC following failure of an anthracycline and a taxane promise to improve patient outcomes. Nurses should remain vigilant for adverse events and remember that the goal of treatment remains control of the disease and palliation.

Abstract
Treatment with receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has improved progression-free and overall survival in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). One major target for treatment with TKI is the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), particularly in patients harboring activating mutations. However, despite initial responses and long lasting remissions, the development of secondary resistance inevitably leads to treatment failure. Analyzing recent data from various phase II/III trials it seems obvious that the single mode of action of gefitinib or erlotinib can provide temporary success only. Both preclinical and clinical evidence suggest that irreversible TKIs such as afatinib or PF00299804, or combined approaches using multiple kinase inhibition (e.g. EGFR and MET) and vertical inhibition by combination of small molecules and antibodies, seem to be more promising and will be the prevailing concepts to overcome secondary EGFR-TKI resistance for the near future.

Abstract
The intracellular kinase, Src, interacts with a diverse array of signaling elements, including the estrogen receptor to regulate breast cancer progression. Recent evidence has also implicated Src in mediating the response of breast cancer to endocrine agents and in the acquisition of antihormone resistance, a significant limiting factor to the clinical effectiveness of systemic endocrine therapy. A number of pharmacological inhibitors of Src kinase have been developed that are effective at suppressing breast cancer growth and invasion in vitro and inhibiting disease spread in vivo. Significantly, there appears to be added benefit when these agents are given in combination with anti-estrogens in endocrine-sensitive and -resistant models. These new findings suggest that Src inhibitors might have therapeutic value in breast cancer patients to improve endocrine response and circumvent resistance.

Abstract
In spite of advances in treatment strategies, about 25%-40% of patients with breast cancer still eventually develop metastatic disease that is largely incurable. Treatment goals vary from symptom control to lengthening survival, mainly on the basis of patient age and performance status, tumor biology, site and extent of disease, and prior therapies. In particular, breast cancer molecular characterization allows for the identification of breast cancer subtypes with distinct biological features, a distinct clinical course, and distinct treatment sensitivity. Endocrine manipulation is the cornerstone of therapy in hormone receptor-positive tumors; anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2 agents are essential in the management of HER-2(+) tumors; and chemotherapy is the only available option so far for the triple-negative subtype. In each of these subtypes, the more efficacious agents have been progressively incorporated into adjuvant treatment. As a consequence, the choice of the optimal therapeutic strategy for patients with metastatic disease is largely influenced by prior exposure to adjuvant therapies. This review contextualizes the data from clinical trials into different clinical scenarios of metastatic disease, taking into account the molecular subtype and prior adjuvant treatments.

Abstract
This study compares the survival of breast cancer patients who are metastatic at diagnosis (DMBC) and of recurrent metastatic breast cancer (RMBC) patients. We analyzed retrospectively the population-based data of Breast Cancer Registry of Palermo and collected a total of 4459 breast cancer cases in the years 1999-2005. Survival analysis did not show statistically significant differences between DMBC and RMBC patients (P= 0.882). Endocrine manipulation is the treatment of choice in the case of hormone receptor-positive breast tumors. In 91 receptor-positive DMBC patients the endocrine treatment was associated with a prolonged overall survival (OS) (median survival 33.5 months compared to 29 months for receptor-positive patients who did not receive hormone treatment). Receptor-negative patients who underwent endocrine therapy (76% of cases) survived longer than receptor-negative patients who did not receive hormone treatment (median survival 28.5 months vs. 15 months, respectively). This evidence supports the concept that endocrine therapies impinging upon molecular targets other than hormone receptors may increase survival rates of breast cancer patients.
