Triple Negative Breast Cancer versus Non-Triple Negative Breast Cancer Treated with Breast Conservation Surgery Followed by Radiotherapy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Background: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of breast conservation surgery (BCS) followed by radiotherapy (RT) in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) versus non-TNBC. Methods: We searched the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from inception through March 31, 2014, using search terms related to TNBC, BCS, and RT. Studies comparing the efficacy of BCS followed by RT in TNBC versus non-TNBC were reviewed. Results: 5 studies including 2,922 non-TNBC and 510 TNBC cases were selected. The overall quali… Show more

“…It accounts for 15% to 20% of all BCs diagnosed annually [4]. TNBC tumors are characterized by a more aggressive clinical behavior, poor prognosis, higher recurrence rates and poor survival rates [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Currently, there are no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved targeted therapies for this dreadful disease.…”

“…The risk of local recurrence in patients with nonmetastatic breast cancer is primarily assessed based on clinicopathological factors, and different molecular subtypes are associated with distinct local control rates 22,23 . Low 10‐year locoregional failure was observed in the current study with small and not statistically significant differences based on trastuzumab use in these locally advanced patients.…”
