Traitements systémiques des cancers du sein métastatiques

Thérapeutique du cancer

Résumé

Les patientes présentant un cancer métastatique demeurent dans une situation incurable mais pour laquelle les progrès thérapeutiques ont permis d’améliorer considérablement à la fois la qualité de vie et le pronostic. Bénéfice acquis alors que les thérapeutiques les plus efficaces sont logiquement utilisées à la phase adjuvante pour guérir le maximum de patientes. Cette exposition en adjuvant exerce une pression de sélection importante qui voit récidiver des tumeurs résistantes, plus agressives et théoriquement de moins bon pronostic. Malgré cela, la maladie métastatique peut être chronicisée par nos thérapeutiques et le contrôle de la maladie métastatique ne cesse d’être amélioré [1]. P. Greenberg, en analysant des patientes traitées dans les années 1990 par des protocoles à base d’anthracycline, avait mis en évidence des survies prolongées au-delà de dix ans pour plus de 10 % des patientes présentant une réponse complète avec la première ligne de chimiothérapie [2]. Aujourd’hui, cette proportion est considérablement augmentée et il est parfaitement justifié de proposer aux patientes des lignes itératives de traitements avec espoir d’efficacité. Les armes à notre disposition pour contrôler cette maladie métastatique combinent les traitements hormonaux, les chimiothérapies et les nouvelles thérapeutiques ciblées.
