Abstract
Background: Breast carcinoma is divided into at least 21 separate histologies, according to the 2019 World Health Organization (WHO) classification. The present study is dedicated to a 5% or rarer group of all breast cancer cases.
Method: In this study, we retrospectively considered the data of 4550 patients operated on for breast carcinoma at the Ankara Oncology Training and Research Hospital of the University of Health Sciences between January 2018 and February 2024. Of those cases, 401 were discovered to have rare breast cancer types. We also explored the cases by clinicopathological features, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS).
Results: Our findings revealed a total of 10 rare breast cancer types in patients explored: mucinous carcinoma, micropapillary carcinoma, papillary group carcinomas, metaplastic carcinoma, neuroendocrine carcinoma, tubular carcinoma, cribriform carcinoma, apocrine carcinoma, acinic cell carcinoma, and secretory carcinoma. While mucinous, tubular, cribriform, papillary group carcinomas, micropapillary, and secretory carcinomas are described as types associated with good prognosis, metaplastic, neuroendocrine, apocrine, and carcinomas are described as types associated with relatively poor prognosis.
Conclusion: Scrutinizing the clinicopathological features of rare breast cancer types altogether may be the distinct contribution of this paper to the relevant literature and future research.
期刊介绍:
The Breast Journal is the first comprehensive, multidisciplinary source devoted exclusively to all facets of research, diagnosis, and treatment of breast disease. The Breast Journal encompasses the latest news and technologies from the many medical specialties concerned with breast disease care in order to address the disease within the context of an integrated breast health care. This editorial philosophy recognizes the special social, sexual, and psychological considerations that distinguish cancer, and breast cancer in particular, from other serious diseases. Topics specifically within the scope of The Breast Journal include:
Risk Factors
