| Abstract | Purpose: Compared to White women, there are higher mortality rates in Black/African American (BAA) women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer (HR + BC) which may be partially due to differences in treatment resistance. We assessed factors associated with response to neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NET). Methods: The National Cancer Database (NCDB) was queried for women with clinical stage I-III HR + BC diagnosed 2006-2017 and treated with NET. Univariate and multivariate analyses described associations between the sample, duration of NET, and subsequent treatment response, defined by changes between clinical and pathological staging. Results: The analytic sample included 9864 White and 1090 BAA women. Compared to White women, BAA women were younger, had more co-morbidities, were higher stage at presentation, and more likely to have > 24 weeks of NET. After excluding those with unknown pT/N/M, 3521 White and 365 BAA women were evaluated for NET response. On multivariate analyses, controlling for age, stage, histology, HR positivity, and duration of NET, BAA women were more likely to downstage to pT0/Tis (OR 3.0, CI 1.2-7.1) and upstage to Stage IV (OR 2.4, CI 1.002-5.6). None of the women downstaged to pT0/Tis presented with clinical stage III disease; only 2 of the women upstaged to Stage IV disease presented with clinical Stage I disease. Conclusion: Independent of NET duration and clinical stage at presentation, BAA women were more likely to experience both complete tumor response and progression to metastatic disease. These results suggest significant heterogeneity in tumor biology and warrant a more nuanced therapeutic approach to HR + BC. |
