Abstract:
Objective To analyze the association between plasma circulating tumor DNA(ctDNA)TP53 mutation status and survival outcomes in breast cancer patients.Methods PubMed,Embase,and the Cochrane Library were searched for relevant literature published between 2000 and 2025,examining the impact of plasma ctDNA TP53 mutations on survival outcomes in breast cancer patients,including overall survival(OS),progression-free survival(PFS),or disease-free survival(DFS).Two researchers independently screened the literature according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria and extracted relevant data.The Newcastle-Ottawa scale and Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool were used to evaluate study quality.Meta-analysis,publication bias assessment,and sensitivity analysis were performed using Review Manager 5.3 and STATA 18.0 software.Results A total of 14 studies(13 cohort studies and 1 randomized controlled trial)in-volving 3521 breast cancer patients were included,among whom 921 had TP53 mutations.All studies were as-sessed as high-quality or low-risk.The random-effects model demonstrated that TP53 mutations were significantly associated with poorer OS(I2=77%,HR=1.82,95%CI:1.15-2.88,P=0.010),PFS(I2=63%,HR=1.68,95%CI:1.30-2.17,P＜0.001),and DFS(I2=85%,HR=1.98,95%CI:1.05-3.75,P=0.040).Funnel plots indicated no significant publication bias,and sensitivity analysis confirmed the stabil-ity and reliability of the results.Subgroup analyses based on study design,breast cancer stage and molecular subtype revealed that TP53 mutations were associated with worse prognosis in prospective studies(OS:HR=2.32,95%CI:1.84-2.92,P＜0.001;PFS:HR=1.83,95%CI:1.47-2.27,P＜0.001),metastatic/ad-vanced breast cancer(OS:HR=2.03,95%CI:1.44-2.87,P＜0.001;PFS:HR=1.90,95%CI:1.57-2.31,P＜0.001),and hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative(HR+HER2-)patients(OS:HR=2.11,95%CI:1.56-2.85,P＜0.001;PFS:HR=1.94,95%CI:1.62-2.33,P＜0.001).Among different treatment regimens,patients with TP53 mutations receiving trastuzumab combined with paclitaxel exhibited relatively better prognosis(PFS:HR=0.08,95%CI:0.02-0.30,P＜0.001).Conclusion Plasma ctDNA TP53 mutations are closely associated with survival outcomes in breast cancer patients and may serve as a potential predictor of poor prognosis,providing support for clinical manage-ment and prognostic assessment.
