Abstract:
Background: Mucinous carcinoma is the third most common histological subtype of breast cancer after ductal and lobular carcinomas, accounting for approximately 3% of invasive breast cancers. Although considered a favourable subtype with de-escalation of treatment recommended in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines, recurrence can occur and supporting data is limited. We thus examined prognostic factors of pure mucinous breast cancer (PMBC) in an international multicentre cohort study. Methods: Patients diagnosed between January 2000 to December 2015 with hormone receptor-positive HER2-negative stage I to III PMBC, invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) at 6 centers in Singapore, Taiwan, Korea and Japan were evaluated. Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to compare relapse-free survival (RFS), distant relapse-free survival (DRFS) and overall survival (OS) by histological subtypes, and to identify prognostic factors for PMBC. Results: Of 23,105 women eligible for analysis, 20,684 had IDC, 1,475 had ILC and 946 had PMBC. The median follow-up was 6.6 years; 5-year RFS, DRFS and OS for PMBC were 94.6%, 96.5% and 98.1% respectively. On multivariable cox regression analyses, PMBC demonstrated superior RFS (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.56 - 0.88), DRFS (HR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.53 - 0.89) and OS (HR = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.52 - 0.93) compared to IDC, while ILC had comparable survival outcomes as IDC. When restricted to only PMBC, significant independent prognostic factors for RFS included ethnicity (vs Chinese, “Others” [non-Chinese/Japanese/Korean, mainly Malay and Indian] : HR = 2.62, 95% CI 1.23 – 5.57), older age (vs & lt; 40 years, & gt;70 years: HR = 3.53, 95% CI 1.67 – 7.46), tumor size (vs T1, T3-4: HR = 2.79, 95% CI 1.45 – 5.37), positive lymph nodes (HR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.10 – 3.77), use of radiotherapy (HR = 0.54, 95% CI 0.33 – 0.91) and endocrine therapy (HR = 0.31, 95% CI 0.12 – 0.77). On further analysis, the inferior RFS, DRFS and OS in older patients ( & gt;70 years) were driven largely by non-breast cancer deaths rather than relapses. Use of endocrine therapy was also associated with superior DRFS (HR = 0.26, 95% CI 0.09 – 0.73) but not OS. In a subgroup analysis, use of chemotherapy was associated with improved DRFS (HR = 0.25, 95% CI 0.08 – 0.82) and OS (HR = 0.07, 95% CI 0.01 – 0.37) with a trend in RFS (HR = 0.41, 95% CI 0.14 – 1.24) for lymph node-positive PMBC; no differences in outcomes were observed for the lymph node-negative subgroup. Conclusions: Larger tumor size, lymph node positivity and ethnicity were significant factors for RFS in PMBC. Use of endocrine therapy was associated with superior RFS and DRFS, while chemotherapy was associated with better DRFS and OS for lymph-node positive PMBC.
