Impact of immunohistological subtypes on the long-term prognosis of patients with metastatic breast cancer

Abstract: The prognosis of the patients with MBC in this series was better than that reported before 2000, which is probably attributable to the use of novel, improved pharmacological agents. For example, luminal-HER2 tumors can be treated using both aromatase inhibitors and trastuzumab. Because of the lower toxicities, it is now possible to administer these agents for longer periods, resulting in better prognoses.

“…Although treatable, MBC remains an incurable disease with a median overall survival of ∼2–3 years and a 5-year survival of only ∼25% [2–4]. Some more recent series seem to indicate an improvement in median overall survival [5, 6]. …”

“…However, few studies have examined the relationship between intrinsic subtypes and the PRS of patients with recurrent breast cancer [ 11 14 ] . This study aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological features and PRS according to intrinsic molecular subtypes of breast cancer in patients treated with NAC and subsequent curative surgery.…”

“…The etiology of this is unknown, but it may refer to the loss of expression of the cellcell adhesion molecule E-cadherin in invasive lobular carcinoma (18). A retrospective analysis from 2016 has reported a median survival time (MST) of 55.5 months for all MBC subtypes (59.9 months for the luminal one) with clear improvement in the recent years (2000-2008) in comparison to 1977-1989 (19). Some cases of luminal MBC (7.3-11.6%) have their first distant site of recurrence in the skin.…”
