PURPOSE: Breast phyllodes tumors (PT) are classified into benign, borderline, and malignant grades based on histopathologic characteristics. Specific to malignant PT (MPT), surgery is the mainstay yet relapse rates are high and knowledge gaps in the literature exist regarding adjuvant radiotherapy (RT). We aimed to investigate the outcomes of patients with MPT treated in a tertiary Asian institution.

METHODS AND MATERIALS: Patients with nonmetastatic MPT treated from February 1992 to June 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. RT details and relapse fields were studied. Outcomes of patients with and without RT were compared and hazard ratios were calculated using Cox proportional hazard test. Multivariable analysis was performed.

RESULTS: Twenty-two of 89 patients received adjuvant RT and the median dose was 60 Gy. In the no-RT group, 4 patients received RT on relapse and had no further recurrences; a further 2 received RT for fungating relapses with good symptomatic relief. RT was only increasingly prescribed after 2004. Median follow-up in the RT group was 3.31 years, compared with 6.17 years in the no-RT group. In the RT group, 15 patients (68.2%) underwent mastectomy, versus 39 (58.2%) in the no-RT group. One patient in the RT group developed an infield local relapse, compared with 21 of 67 patients in the no-RT group. Multivariate model showed that RT decreased risk of locoregional failure (hazard ratio 0.12, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.02-0.92, P = .04). Three-year locoregional recurrence-free survival was higher in the RT group, 92.3% (95% CI, 78.9-100) versus 73.3% (95% CI, 63.1-85.1) in the no-RT group (P = .03). There were no differences in 3-year survival.

CONCLUSIONS: We recommend that adjuvant radiotherapy be discussed for malignant PT for local control, even after mastectomy.
