title: [Analysis of chemotherapeutic efficacies in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the chemotherapeutic efficacies and prognostic factors of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.
  
  
  METHODS
  The clinicopathologic data of 151 patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer were collected from September 1994 to November 2011 and their clinicopathologic characteristics, recurrence and survival were analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Platinum plus taxol or vinorelbine was significantly higher than others for these patients (42.1% vs 23.1%, P = 0.022). The median overall survivals of those on first-line chemotherapy with partial remission, stable disease and progressive disease were 29.6, 24.7 and 13.1 months respectively. The differences were statistically significant (P = 0.045). Two or three-line chemotherapy showed no obvious statistical relationship with total overall survival. Simple factor analysis showed that the number of metastasis, visceral metastases and the efficacies of first-line chemotherapy were correlated with overall survival (all P < 0.05). Multivariate Cox regression showed that disease-free survival and the efficacies of first-line chemotherapy were the independent prognostic factors of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The combined chemotherapy of platinum may achieve better efficacies in the treatment of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. And the efficacies of first-line chemotherapy are closely correlated with survival.
