Article Description

Introduction: There is no standard chemotherapy for patients with MBC who progress after exposure to anthracycline and taxane. We conducted this study to assess the outcome of patients who were treated with eribulin. Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with MBC who were treated with eribulin from December 2016 to March 2018 in Cancer Institute, Chennai. Results: Twelve patients with MBC previously exposed to both anthracycline and taxane, who received eribulin, were included in this analysis. The overall response rate was 33%. With a median follow-up of 26 months, the median PFS and median OS were 3.5 months and 13.5 months, respectively. Grade 3 neuropathy occurred in 16% of patients. Conclusion: Eribulin is an option in heavily pre-treated MBC considering the promising long-term outcome. Patients with pre-existing neuropathy should not be considered for eribulin.
