Capecitabine in the Treatment of Breast Cancer With Low-hormone Receptor Expression After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Summary

Capecitabine is recommended for adjuvant treatment of advanced or metastatic breast cancer and is particularly effective in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). CREATE-X clinical studies have demonstrated that Capecitabine can further improve prognosis and demonstrate good tolerance in patients who have not achieved pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Previous studies have confirmed that the pathological features of the low- hormone receptor (HR)positive population in breast cancer are similar to those in the TNBC population, with a poor prognosis and are not sensitive to adjuvant endocrine therapy. We hypothesize that the use of Capecitabine in breast cancer patients with residual invasive carcinoma after neoadjuvant chemotherapy may improve prognosis.
