We conducted a retrospective single-centre observational study to describe outcomes and possible prognostic factors of pts with B-MPT. Data of consecutive patients aged ³18 years old, with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of non-metastatic B-MPT, who underwent surgery from January 2000 to December 2021, were collected. The primary endpoint was the cumulative incidences of any recurrence (local or distant recurrence) defined as the radiological finding of metastatic or local recurrent disease, whichever occurred first (significance at p-value< 0.05).
Results:
131 pts were included. Patient characteristics are reported in Table 1. All patients received a surgery, 5 adjuvant anthracycline-based chemotherapy and 15 radiation therapy.
After a median follow-up of 6.4 years, 36 (28%) pts experienced a disease recurrence: 19 (15%) a distant and 23 (18%) a loco-regional relapse. The cumulative incidence at 5 years of any, local and distant recurrence was of 26% (95% CI, 4-34%), 16% (95% CI, 10-24%) and 10% (95% CI, 5.3-16%), respectively.
At univariate analysis, tumor size ³5 cm was associated with a higher incidence of distant recurrence (p=0.05). Considering only tumors of less than 5 cm in diameter, more distant recurrences were observed in case of at least one negative prognostic factor (i.e., heterogeneous differentiation and/or multifocal diseases) (p=0.067). The type of breast surgery (mastectomy vs. lumpectomy/excision) was not associated with distant (p=0.32) or local (p=0.17) or recurrence, even after controlling local recurrence incidence for the propensity score risk strata (HR: 0.56; 95% CI, 0.24-1.29; p=0.17).
Conclusions:
Natural history of B-MPT is burdened by local and distant recurrences. Pathological features more than the type of wide local excision seem to represent the most significant prognostic factor for recurrences.
