However, little information is available regarding their prognostic relevance to follow-up care.Methods: The multicenter, open-label, phase III SUCCESS A trial compared two adjuvant chemotherapy regimens followed by 2 vs 5 years of zoledronate for early-stage, high-risk breast cancer patients. The presence of CTCs was assessed before and 2 years after chemotherapy using the FDA-approved CellSearch System. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were analyzed using univariate log-rank tests and multivariable Cox regressions.

Two years after chemotherapy, 198 (18.2%) patients were CTC-positive. The median follow-up after this timepoint was 37 months. Cox regressions that included CTC status at baseline revealed that CTC status 2 years after chemotherapy had statistically significant and independent prognostic relevance for OS (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.91, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.04 to 7.52, P < .001) and DFS (HR = 2.31, 95% CI = 1.50 to 3.55, P < .001).Conclusion: The presence of CTCs 2 years after chemotherapy was associated with decreased OS and DFS.
