Abstract
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is rare, with challenging diagnostics and unfavorable outcomes. Therefore, more molecular insight into IBC is needed. The comprehensive Dutch prospective INFLAME registry related IBC follow-up and treatment to histopathology and molecular analysis. Of consecutive patients, nationwide identified with newly diagnosed IBC, clinicopathological, treatment and outcome data were collected. Histopathology and RNA-sequencing were related to outcome. 125 IBC patients were enrolled. Forty-one (34%) patients had HER2 + , and 31 (25%) had triple-negative IBC. The estimated 3-year OS was 78% in M0 IBC and 29% in M1. PFS was worst in triple-negative IBC (median 7.9 vs 16.3 and 15.8 months in M1 HER2+ and HR + /HER2- IBC). DFS and OS in M0 IBC were better with guideline-concordant trimodal therapy than without (HR 0.15 and 0.15; p = 0.000005 and 0.00038). The unique prospective INFLAME confirms unfavorable IBC characteristics and outcomes. International efforts may support guideline adherence and identify IBC-specific targets.
期刊介绍:
npj Breast Cancer publishes original research articles, reviews, brief correspondence, meeting reports, editorial summaries and hypothesis generating observations which could be unexplained or preliminary findings from experiments, novel ideas, or the framing of new questions that need to be solved. Featured topics of the journal include imaging, immunotherapy, molecular classification of disease, mechanism-based therapies largely targeting signal transduction pathways, carcinogenesis including hereditary susceptibility and molecular epidemiology, survivorship issues including long-term toxicities of treatment and secondary neoplasm occurrence, the biophysics of cancer, mechanisms of metastasis and their perturbation, and studies of the tumor microenvironment.
