Abstract 9P
Background
To evaluate clinicopathological features and prognosis in women with mucinous breast cancer (MBC), distinguishing between pure (PMC) and mixed (MMC) subtype.
Methods
A retrospective analysis of all 358 women with MBC treated at Vietnam National Cancer hospital from June 2015 to December 2020. PMC was defined by ≥ 90% mucinous components.
Results
We identified 358 women with MBC (245 PMC and 113 MMC) representing 2.7% of all 13,254 breast cancer patients. The proportion of stage I, II, III and IV were 34.9%, 50.8%, 10.4% and 3.9% respectively. 95.3% of patients were hormone receptor positive. The rate of HER2 overexpression is 12%, and only 1.4% of patients was treated with anti-HER2. 193 patients (53.9%) had chemotherapy (CT), including 55 patients (15.4%) treated in neoadjuvant setting. Among those received neoadjuvant CT, only 3 patients (5.5%) achieved pCR. Meanwhile, the rates of partial response, stable disease and progressive disease were 50.8%, 38.2% and 5.5% respectively. PMC patients were older (54.4±13.3 vs 51.1±13.1 years), had lower Ki67 expression, lower incidence of nodal metastasis (N+) than MMC patients (p values <0.05). At median follow-up of 58 months, the 5-year overall survival rate of non-metastatic patients was 86.6%. Univariate analysis revealed that significant factors for poorer OS were MMC subtype (p=0.02), large tumor size (T) (p<0.001), N+ (p<0.001), HER2 overexpression (p<0.001), PR negative (p=0.02), and high Ki67 (p=0.02). Multivariate analysis showed nodal metastasis (N+) to be the most significant prognostic factor (HR=3.3; 95%CI 1.5-7.1), followed by high T stage (HR=2.9; 95%CI 1.4-6.3), HER2 overexpression (HR=2.5; 95%CI 1.2-5.3) and MMC subtype (HR=1.9; 95%CI 1.0-3.9). Amongst 245 patients with stage T1-2N0M0, 40.8% of those treated with CT related to worse overall survival (5-year OS 88.0% vs 95.6%, p=0.04).
Conclusions
The majority of MBC are luminal subtypes and associated with good prognosis. Poor prognostic factors of women with MBC are high T, N stage, HER2 overexpression and MMC subtype. Chemotherapy in stage T1-2N0M0 brings a worse survival outcome compared to endocrine therapy. Given the low response rate to neoadjuvant CT, upfront surgery is appropriate for MBC patients.
