1. 引言

三阴性乳腺癌(Triple negative breast cancer,简称TNBC)是指癌组织免疫组化检查结果为雌激素受体(ER)、孕激素受体(PR)、原癌基因Her-2均为阴性的乳腺癌。这类乳腺癌占所有乳腺癌病理类型的10%~20.8%,具有特殊的生物学行为和临床病理特征。多项研究表明,三阴性乳腺癌多发于绝经前年轻妇女。三阴性乳腺癌临床表现为一种侵袭性病程,其远处转移风险较高。内脏转移机会较骨转移高,脑转移几率也较高。文献报道其3年复发率达19%,复发后中位生存期仅12个月 [ 1 ] 。三阴性乳腺癌远处转移在三年时达到高峰,之后可能下降。三阴性乳腺癌的中位肿瘤大小为2 cm,50%有淋巴结转移,此类乳腺癌的组织学分级多为3级,细胞增殖比例较高。

三阴性乳腺癌目前还没有针对性的治疗指南,其治疗按一般乳腺癌常规治疗,没有任何靶向药物治疗。本病预后较差,死亡风险较高。目前临床上以手术 + 放化学治疗为主要药物治疗手段,但放化疗虽能诱导癌细胞凋亡,同时难以避免对正常细胞的损伤,进而对机体的免疫、消化、循环及神经系统等功能产生不良影响,给患者带来了极大的身心负担。此外,放化疗后缺乏其他维持性治疗措施。有文献报道,全乳切除术后放疗可提高pT3N0M0期TNBC患者5年生存率(74.3%, P < 0.001) [ 2 ] 。上海交通大学医学院附属瑞金医院发起的一项前瞻性临床研究表明,在接受保乳手术和系统治疗的T1-2N1期乳腺癌患者中,全乳放射治疗附加锁骨上或内乳照射无法降低5年局部区域复发(P锁骨上 = 0.28,P内乳 = 0.19) [ 3 ] 。此外,一项采用术中放疗代替TNBC III期等效性临床试验取得阴性结果。虽不影响长期OS,但术中放疗较TNBC I期会增加早期乳腺癌患者的同侧复发风险 [ 4 ] 。中医认为正虚毒瘀成瘤是TNBC重要病机,临床发现扶正消瘤中药能够增强化疗疗效、减轻化疗不良反应、改善预后 [ 5 ] 。为证实扶正驱邪滋阴汤在TNBC治疗中的作用,本研究通过对扶正驱邪滋阴汤为核心治法治疗TNBC的临床随机对照试验(RCT)进行系统评价,探讨扶正驱邪滋阴汤治疗TNBC的有效性及安全性。

2. 资料与方法 2.1. 病例来源

选取我科自2020年1月至2023年10月48例经手术、放疗及化疗后的II至III期三阴性乳腺癌患者,采取随机、双盲、自愿的原则分成两组。治疗组24例,对照组24例。

2.2. 纳入标准

① 纳入的患者均经病理诊断证实为TNBC;② 均为经手术、放疗及化疗后的II至III期TNBC。

2.3. 排除标准

① 未经病理诊断证实为TNBC;② 未经过手术、放疗及化疗后的TNBC;③ TNM分期不在II至III期TNBC。

2.4. 治疗方法

治疗组采取扶正祛邪滋阴汤内服8周,对照组采取安慰剂(维生素C)内服8周。入组前均给与CT、彩超及肿瘤标记物检查,治疗结束后再给与彩超及肿瘤标记物检查,之后每3个月随访1次,1年后定期给与CT、彩超及肿瘤标记物检查,随访期共3年。

2.5. 评价指标

① 疗效性指标:临床有效率(overall response rate, ORR)、临床控制率(disease control rate, DCR)、疾病稳定(stable disease, SD)、疾病进展(progressive disease, PD);② 生存质量指标:卡氏评分(Karnofsky KPS)以及KPS改善、稳定、下降率;③ 肿瘤标志物:CEA、CA153、CA125;④ 免疫功能:CD4+/CD8+;⑤ 预后指标:复发转移、无进展生存期(progression free survival, PFS)、中位PFS。

2.6. 统计学分析

采用SPSS26.0版软件进行统计学处理。计数资料的比较采用卡方检验,生存分析采用Kaplan-Meier法并行Leg-rank检验,以P < 0.05为差异有统计学意义。

4. 讨论

三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)比其他BC亚型对全身治疗的反应率更高,且TNBC的肿瘤分化较差,转移倾向较早,复发率较高 [ 6 ] 。复发和转移性TNBC通常进展得更快,对化疗和放疗表现出很强的抵抗力。由于缺乏组合靶向药物,现有治疗往往未能改善TNBC患者的预后和生活质量 [ 7 ] 。TNBC中医可归属于“乳岩”“石痈”等范畴,病因分为外感和内伤,正气不足,外邪乘虚入内,结聚于乳络,脉络不畅,气血运行障碍,痰凝气滞,瘀血内停,蕴结成毒,日久气血更亏,加重毒瘀,终致邪毒痰浊瘀血相搏于乳房而成癌。治法应以扶助正气、祛除毒瘀以消瘤为主,该法重在调节机体阴阳、气血、脏腑、经络功能,从而调节人体微环境、内环境,使机体达到阴阳平衡、正气存内、邪不可干的最佳状态 [ 8 ] 。已有研究表明在TNBC化疗过程中及化疗后辨证使用扶正消瘤中药,一方面可增加化疗直接杀灭肿瘤细胞的作用,另外一方面还能降低化疗引起的不良反应,延缓化疗药物的耐药,有效改善患者的预后以及生活质量 [ 9 ] 。为了更好的指导临床应用扶正消瘤中药,增加选择性的治疗措施和方案,改善TNBC患者生存质量、降低转移率复发率、减少不良反应发生率,因此我们进行了此项Meta分析研究。

现代医学研究证实中医药治疗TNBC具有靶点多、副作用小的独特优势,可作为长期的补充和替代疗法 [ 10 ] 。一项为期2年的多中心观察性队列试验首次评估接受中药治疗的TNBC患者的PFS和总生存期,不仅能证明中医治疗TNBC的效果,而且还有助于为TNBC患者提出一个更加规范化、人性化、标准化的中医治疗方案 [ 7 ] 。扶正消瘤中药在临床应用广泛,对扶正消瘤中药治疗TNBC的作用机制进行初步探索,有研究通过大数据分析显示扶正消瘤中药可以通过干扰细胞周期及PI3K/AKT/mTOR、MAPK和Wnt/β-catenin等途径调控相关靶点基因和蛋白的表达,抑制TNBC细胞的生长、增殖、迁移、侵袭和转移 [ 11 ] 。基础研究进一步证实益气方(扶正消瘤中药组方)可以调节TNBC异种移植小鼠体内中PI3K/AKT通路的主要基因表达,当与厄洛替尼联合使用时,益气方可以增强厄洛替尼对TNBC异种移植小鼠的抗肿瘤作用 [ 12 ] 。这些研究为扶正消瘤中药治疗TNBC提供了科学理论依据,也为进一步深入研究扶正消瘤中药的机制靶点提供方向。

本研究Meta分析后结果显示:① 治疗组在改善临床疗效指标的临床有效率、临床控制率、疾病进展方面明显优于对照组;② 治疗组在改善生活质量上的KPS评分及KPS改善、下降率方面优于对照组;而在稳定KPS方面两组无明显差异;③ 治疗组在降低肿瘤标志物指标CEA、CA153、CA125方面存在优势;④ 治疗组在改善预后如延长患者PFS、中位PFS等指标方面有优势,降低复发转移率有明显优势;综上所述,扶正驱邪滋阴汤联合放化疗在提高TNBC患者的临床有效率、改善患者生存质量、降低肿瘤标志物、改善预后,提高免疫功能、控制复发转移率等方面作用明显。研究表明长期服用扶正驱邪滋阴汤中药治疗可以改善TNBC患者免疫功能、延缓复发转移。

本研究尚存在一定的局限性,所纳入的RCT总体质量偏低,研究样本量较小,缺乏高质量多中心大样本的RCT。此外,研究临床异质性较大,其主要原因可能为:部分研究对治疗前的中医证型未详细描述,所用扶正驱邪滋阴汤的中药配伍、用法、用量也不尽相同;今后的研究可在统一的中医辨证的基础上,针对TNBC肿瘤不同的分期、用药的疗程、具体的方剂和化疗方案制定研究方案,从而开展更多深入的、高质量、多中心、大样本RCTs,为中药治疗TNBC提供更可靠的循证医学。
