Effectiveness of MAID Therapy against Metastatic Malignant Phyllodes Tumors and Stromal Sarcoma of the Breast

Abstract: Key WordsChemotherapy · Phyllodes tumor, malignant · Metastasis Summary Background: Malignant phyllodes tumors and stromal sarcoma are rare malignancies of the breast. The efficacy of systemic chemotherapy against metastatic malignant phyllodes tumors and metastatic stromal sarcoma remains unknown. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 8 patients with metastatic malignant phyllodes tumors or stromal sarcoma, who were treated with MAID (mesna, doxorubicin, ifosfamide, dacarbazine) chemotherapy. The … Show more

“…In addition, most available data derive from case reports or studies involving chemotherapy for metastatic PTs. [17][18][19][20][21] Two retrospective studies 19,20 specifically addressing systemic treatment of metastatic phyllodes tumors revealed that patients with metastatic disease who underwent anthracycline-based (AI/anthracycline alone/other anthracycline regimens) chemotherapy regimens, particularly the AI regimen, experienced enhanced survival benefits. According to Palassini et al, 19 66.1% (37/56) of patients with metastatic MPTs opted for anthracycline-based chemotherapy regimens, comparable to the 64% (32/50) according to Parkes et al 20 Similarly, most (74.2%) patients in our study received anthracycline-based chemotherapy.…”

“…ont traité 8 patientes par une chimiothérapie intensifiée comportant doxorubicine, dacarbazine, ifosfamide et mesna. Une réponse partielle a été mise en évidence chez 4 patientes au prix d´une toxicité hématologique de grade 3 avec une médiane de survie de 5 mois [ 9 ]. À travers les différentes études citées, on constate qu´un régime de chimiothérapie muli-agent à base de doxorubicine est le plus souvent utilisé avec une efficacité qui paraît légèrement supérieure de la polychimiothérapie par rapport à la monochimiothérapie.…”
