Summary
Indications and types of adjuvant treatment depend on the number of infiltrated axillary lymph nodes, menopausal and hormonal receptor status. In N0 situation is to date no indication for hormonal or cytotoxic therapy outside of clinical trials: disease-free survival may be improved but overall survival is not influenced. In N+ situation premenopausal patients should receive polychemotherapy independent from hormonal receptor status, postmenopausal patients with positive receptor status should be treated with tamoxifen up to 5 years: in this situation disease-free intervall and overall survival can be enhanced significantly.
Zusammenfassung
Indikationen und Behandlungsmodalitäten hängen bei der adjuvanten Therapie der Mammakarzinome von der Anzahl infiltrierter Lymphknoten (Lk), dem Menopausen- und dem Hormonrezeptorstatus ab. Bei fehlendem Lk-Befall ist derzeit außerhalb von Therpiestudien keine Behandlungsindikation gegeben. Bei Befall der axillären Lymphknoten sollten prämenopausale Patientinnen unabhängig vom Hormonrezeptorstatus eine Polychemotherapie, postmenopausale Patientinnen mit positivem Rezeptorstatus eine mehrjährige Behandlung mit Tamoxifen erhalten.
