Abstract:
ObjectiveTo analyze the clinicopathologic characteristics and survival of ethnic minority female patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.Methods The clinicopathological characteristics,including age at diagnosis,size of tumor mass,lymphnode involvement,adjuvant therapy,recurrence of disease and survival of patient,of 48 ethnic minority patient cases with TNBC negative for estrogen receptor (ER),progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (Her-2) were analyzed,whom were treated in our hospital from January 2001 to December 2005,including age at diagnosis,size of tumor mass,lymph node involvement,adjuvant therapy,recurrence of disease and survival of patients.ResultsOf the 48 patients,median age was 47 years,and 83.3 ％ (39 cases) of patients had stage Ⅱ or Ⅲ disease.The majority(85.4 ％,41 cases)of pathological types were grade Ⅱ or Ⅲ invasive ductal carcinomas,and lymph node involvement was detected in 56.2 ％ (27 cases) of these patients at initial diagnosis.46 patients were followed and had adjuvant therapy.Tumor-free survival and overall survival at 5 years were 43.5 ％ (20/46) and 52.2 ％ (24/46),respectively.Patients with lymph node involved had only 38.5 ％ (10/46) of overall survival at 5 years.ConclusionThe incidence of triple negative breast cancer of female patients in Xinjiang multiple minority groups is similar to domestic study,and the rates of over all survival is lower than that in Han Chinese patients. The female patients with TNBC in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region multiple minority groups showed higher lymph node involvement at initial diagnosis and more distal metastasis.Patients with lymph node involved had poor survival.
