Title: Breast cancer subtype approximations and loco-regional recurrence after immediate breast reconstruction. Author: Kneubil MC, Brollo J, Botteri E, Curigliano G, Rotmensz N, Goldhirsch A, Lohsiriwat V, Manconi A, Martella S, Santillo B, Petit JY, Rietjens M. Journal: Eur J Surg Oncol; 2013 Mar; 39(3):260-5. PubMed ID: 23313014. Abstract: BACKGROUND: A small but significant proportion of patients with breast cancer (BC) will develop loco-regional recurrence (LRR) after immediate breast reconstruction (IBR). The LRR also varies according to breast cancer subtypes and clinicopathological features. METHODS: We studied 1742 consecutive BC patients with IBR between 1997 and 2006. According to St Gallen conference consensus 2011, its BC approximations were applied to classify BC into five subtypes: estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PgR) positive, HER2 negative, and low Ki67 (<14%) [luminal A]; ER and/or PgR positive, HER2 negative and high Ki67(≥ 14%) [luminal B/HER2 negative]; ER and/or PgR positive, any Ki67 and HER2 positive [luminal B/HER2 positive]; ER negative, PgR negative and HER2 positive [HER2 positive/nonluminal]; and ER negative, PgR negative and HER2 negative [triple negative]. Cumulative incidences of LRR were compared across different subgroups by means of the Gray test. Multivariable Cox regression models were applied. RESULTS: Median follow up time was 74 months (range 3-165). The cumulative incidence of LRR was 5.5% (121 events). The 5-year cumulative incidence of LRR was 2.5% for luminal A; 5.0% for luminal B/HER2 negative; 9.8% for luminal B/HER2 positive; 3.8% for HER2 non luminal; and 10.9% for triple negative. On multivariable analysis, tumor size (pT) >2 cm, body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25, triple negative and luminal B/HER2 positive subtypes were associated with increased risk of LRR. CONCLUSION: Luminal B/HER2 positive, triple negative subtypes and BMI ≥ 25 are independent prognostic factors for risk of LRR after IBR.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
