Locoregional recurrence of triple-negative breast cancer: effect of type of surgery and adjuvant postoperative radiotherapy

Abstract: Background/purposeThe aim was to evaluate the prognostic significance of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) and surgical type on local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) and overall survival (OS) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in the Egyptian population.Patients and methodsWe evaluated 111 patients with stage I–III TNBC diagnosed at our institute during the period from 2004 to 2009. Patients were stratified according to PORT into two groups: a PORT group and a non-PORT group. The influence of PORT and sur… Show more

“…In more studies, results showed that grade ΙΙΙ in TNBC patients is more than grade ΙΙ, but this study is contrasting with these results and similar to results of two other studies (Dent et al, 2009;Somali et al, 2013;Bayoumi et al, 2014). At least, lymph node invasive in 50% of TNBC patients is positive that our study confirms it.…”

“…the mean age for TNBC is between 40 to 65 years with a focus on 45-55 years such as mean age in our study that was 49.6 years. Also, In our study, range of age was 27-82 years that studies (Dent et al, 2009;Ovcaricek et al, 2011;Bayoumi et al, 2014;Kim et al, 2015) resulted the range is between 19-92 years.…”

“…LRRFS at 5 years was 73.9% and LRFS at 5 years was 75.4% similar to the 5‐year LRFS of 88% reported by Baymoumi . The studies reporting differences in loco‐regional recurrence (LRR) when compared to non‐TNBC are conflicting, some indicating a worse LRR and others no difference …”

“…Another technical concern was the very high rate of regrowths of the site of primary tumor resection with limited duration of the survival time of such mice, although those high rates were also observed at the primary tumor resection site when using the established cell line such as MDA-MB-231 LM2-4 [ 1 , 6 ]. Regrowths at the primary tumor resection site can also be a significant problem in patients with triple negative breast cancer [ 29 31 ]. In view of our results, there are several factors which might help explain the lack of detectable spontaneous metastases in our breast cancer PDX models and studies.…”
