description | Background: Our objective was to describe the hospital-based systemic treatment sequences in early stage HER2+ breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab in France in 2016. Methods: This retrospective observational study was based on the national hospital discharge database (PMSI). Patients hospitalized for breast cancer in 2016 and administration of trastuzumab between 6 months prior and 1 year after surgery were included. The following treatments were identified: (1) trastuzumab ± chemotherapy; (2) chemotherapy alone; (3) q3w trastuzumab weekly chemotherapy. Hospital admissions for cardiac events before and after the surgery were investigated. An unsupervised machine learning technic called TAK (Time-sequence Analysis through K-clustering) was used to identify and visualize typical systemic treatment sequences. Results: Overall, 3531 patients were included: 2619 adjuvant cohort patients (74.2%) and 912 neoadjuvant cohort patients (25.8%). The mean age was 56.4 years (±12.3), 99.7% patients were female. Treatment initiation occurred within 6 weeks of the surgery in 58% and 92% of patients, and trastuzumab treatment lasted 12 months (±1 month) in 75% and 66% of patients in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant cohorts, respectively. Nevertheless, 12% and 22% of patients were treated with trastuzumab for <11 months in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant cohorts, respectively. There was not one standard sequence of treatments per cohort, but 4 and 3 typical treatment sequences in the adjuvant and the neoadjuvant cohorts, respectively, plus 2 treatment sequences with an early treatment withdrawal. The frequency of patients with ⩾1 hospital stay with a cardiac event was higher among patients with an early treatment withdrawal. Conclusions: The treatment sequences of most patients were in line with the recommendations in force. The machine learning approach provided a telling visual display of the results, thereby allowing healthcare professionals, health authorities, patients, and care givers to see the whole picture of the hospital-administered drug strategies. |
