Abstract
Background: Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) is a rare type of breast cancer with high frequency of regional lymph node metastasis. However, the prognosis of IMPC has remained controversial for decades. We aimed to compare the differences of prognosis between IMPC and Invasive ductal carcinoma(IDC) of the breast by utilizing Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.
Material and Methods: Patients diagnosed with IMPC and IDC between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2016 from the SEER database were retrieved. Propensity score matching was used to match the two groups at a 1:1 ratio. Breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) and overall survival (OS) rates were compared between IMPC and IDC using Kaplan-Meier estimates, Log-rank tests, univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models. Stratification analyses on breast subtype were also performed.
Results: A total of 921 patients with IMPC and 173, 621 patients with IDC were included in the present retrospective study. IMPC had more regional node metastasis than IDC (48.97% vs. 31.41%, p<0.05). IMPC had a better prognosis than IDC as shown by both the BCSS (p<0.01) and OS (p=0.03) but shared the same prognosis after PSM. IMPC had a better OS (p=0.04) and less distant metastasis (p=0.04) in the HR+/HER2- breast subtype than IDC.
Conclusion: IMPC had more axillary lymph nodes metastasis than IDC. Despite aggressive regional invasion, IMPC had a similar outcome compared with IDC in the BCSS and OS after PSM. Furthermore, IMPC had a better overall survival rate and less distant metastasis than IDC in the HR+/HER2- group.
