The main clinicopathological prognostic \u0000factors are tumor size, lymph node status and estrogen/progesterone (ER/PR) \u0000receptor status. In addition, some \u0000factors are both prognostic and predictive as ER/PR receptors and HER2/neu \u0000overexpression. Axillary lymph node status is the most important \u0000prognostic factor for breast cancer. Node negative breast cancer patients had \u0000the best 5-year overall survival (OS) of 82.8% compared to 73%, 45.7%, and \u000028.4% for patients with 1 - 3, 4 - 12, and \u0000≥13 positive nodes, respectively. The aim of \u0000this study was to determine the association between different \u0000clinicopathological features and development of metastasis in a group of Egyptian women with early breast cancer, also, to assess patients’ \u0000Relapse-free survival (DFS) and OS and their correlation with different \u0000clinicopathological features. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively \u0000reviewed the files of breast cancer patients who were treated and followed-up at the clinical oncology department \u0000and surgical oncology unit, Alexandria Main University Hospital during the \u0000period from January 2014 to December 2017. A total of 1848 breast cancer cases \u0000were presented during this period of time. \u0000141 out of the 1848 patients developed metastasis from breast cancer during \u0000follow-up. Among the 141 patients, only 102 had adequate clinical, pathological, \u0000treatment and follow-up data enough for \u0000analysis and were included in our study. Results: The number of patients \u0000who developed distant metastasis from breast cancer during the study period \u0000(metachronous metastasis) ranges from 17 - 31 \u0000cases/year. All the study patients had documented metastatic disease \u0000constituting 102 out of 1848 collected patients representing about 5.5%. The \u0000median time for development of metastasis \u0000from the initial diagnosis among the 102 studied patients was 17.88 months. \u0000Seventy-two out of 102 cases had distant recurrence. There was a significant correlation between DFS and \u0000tumor size, grade, number of lymph nodes involved and hormone receptor (ER and PR) status. Age, tumor grade, tumor \u0000size and Her2 status had a significant impact on the OS. Conclusion: The \u0000clinicopathological characteristics of the primary tumor are important for \u0000predicting the risk of metastasis among early breast cancer patients and \u0000determining their prognosis.","PeriodicalId":67095,"journal":{"name":"乳腺癌(英文)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48579250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we tried to explore the optimum radiotherapy \u0000technique regarding the dosimetric parameters. Methods: We recruited 15 \u0000SBBC patients in whom post-operative radiotherapy was indicated and we established three plans for each patient \u0000using 3DCRT, IMRT and VMAT, and then we \u0000compared the three plans as regard target volume coverage parameters and organs \u0000at risk (OAR) doses. Results: We found that PTV coverage parameter was \u0000superior with IMRT compared with 3DCRT and VMAT in terms of Dmean (p = 0.001), \u0000D95% (p = 0.001), Dmax (p = 0.0001), conformity index (p = 0.0001) and \u0000HI (p = 0.0001).

Breast cancer is affecting both \u0000males and females, but there is still a lack of effective drugs with improved \u0000potency and admissibility against breast cancer as many of the breast cancer \u0000drugs have severe side effects. Methods: The docking approach has been \u0000used to find a new compound for breast \u0000cancer with more efficacy and tolerance and with lesser side effects. A \u0000ligand-based pharmacophore approach has been generated for 39 anticancer \u0000compounds with significance for the development of new drugs.

The \u0000prevalence of the PIK3CA mutation was 33.3% of cases and it was significantly associated with LNM, tumor \u0000stage, and with PTEN expression. c-MET mutation was identified in 41.7% of cases and it was associated with tumor \u0000stage and with TNBC, while c-KIT mutation was detected in 20.8% \u0000of cases, and it was significantly associated with TNBC only.

Method: Data for four age groups (15 - 39 yrs, 40 - 64 yrs, 65 - 74 yrs, 75+ yrs) of Hispanic-Black and Non-Hispanic White women for breast cancer were extracted from SEER; age-adjusted rate (U.S. 2000 standard pop-ulation).

Result: Incidence rate is higher in Non-Hispanic White women, whereas mortality rate is higher in Hispanic Black. The 40 - 64 yrs age groups showed an increase in incidence rate for Hispanic Black women, whereas an decrease for White women. The least vulnerable group, 15 - 39 yrs age showed an increase in incidence rate in Non-Hispanic White women. The mortality rate was declining overall for both races. Conclusion: Disparities in oncologic healthcare, insurance system and socio-economic factors are possibly responsible for the higher mortality in Black American women.
