Mucinous breast carcinoma (MBC) is classified into mixed mucinous breast carcinoma (MMBC) and pure mucinous breast carcinoma (PMBC) based on whether the tumor is with or without a component of invasive ductal carcinoma, respectively. PMBC is subtyped into hypocellular PMBC (PMBC-A) and hypercellular PMBC (PMBC-B).
Of 1,760 primary breast carcinomas, 71 were diagnosed as MBC, and were subtyped for comparison purposes.
Seventy-one of all breast cancers (4.0%) were MBC, and consisted of 23 MMBC, 32 PMBC-A and 16 PMBC-B. The MBC tumors were more often hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative than non-MBC tumors. Patients with MMBC, PMBC-B or PMBC-A, in this order, had significantly higher recurrence rates than non-MBC cases (p=0.006, log-rank).
In the NCCN guidelines, MBC is also regarded as "a histological type with a favorable prognosis" in a uniform manner, and "treatment for a histological type with a favorable prognosis" is recommended. However, the results of this study suggest that sub-classification-based, individualized therapeutic strategies should be considered.
黏液性乳腺癌(MBC)根据肿瘤是否伴有浸润性导管癌成分分别分为混合性黏液性乳腺癌(MMBC)和纯黏液性乳腺癌(PMBC)。PMBC又分为细胞稀少型PMBC(PMBC-A)和细胞丰富型PMBC(PMBC-B)。
在1760例原发性乳腺癌中,71例被诊断为MBC,并进行亚型分类以作比较。
所有乳腺癌中有71例(4.0%)为MBC,包括23例MMBC、32例PMBC-A和16例PMBC-B。MBC肿瘤比非MBC肿瘤更常为激素受体阳性且HER2阴性。MMBC、PMBC-B或PMBC-A患者的复发率依次显著高于非MBC病例(p=0.006,对数秩检验)。
在NCCN指南中,MBC也被统一视为“预后良好的组织学类型”,并推荐“针对预后良好的组织学类型进行治疗”。然而,本研究结果提示应考虑基于亚分类的个体化治疗策略。
