ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Pure mucinous breast cancer (PMC) is a rare histological type with a favourable prognosis. However, cases with recurrence have been reported and diagnosed in clinical practice. The mechanisms underlying PMC recurrence remain unknown. In this study, we aimed to identify the prognostic factors associated with PMC. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
A total of 166 patients diagnosed with PMC were included. We compared the clinicopathological characteristics between patients with and without recurrence. The 21-gene assay was performed in 10 patients with recurrence and 20 TNM stage-matched patients without recurrence. Whole-exon sequencing was performed in 12 PMC primary tumours and four positive lymph nodes (LNs).RESULTS:
Tumour size, lymph node status and TNM staging differed significantly between recurrent group and non-recurrent group. And the 21-gene recurrence scores did not differ significantly between recurrent group and its TNM stage-matched non-recurrent group. The most frequently mutated genes in the primary tumours of regional LN-positive PMCs were ADCY10 (3/6) and SHANK3 (3/6), and they more recurrently harboured gains of 15q23, 17q23.2 and 20p11.21, and loss of 21p11.2. And these alterations were not detected in primary tumours of regional LN-negative PMCs.CONCLUSION:
TNM stage is an important prognostic factor in PMC. Although we revealed that regional LN-positive PMCs show increased occurrence of duplication variants at 15q23, 17q23.2 and 20p11.21, and deletion variants at 21p11.2. Further investigation, including multi-omics studies, are needed and may provide additional insights into the nature of PMC.Palabras clave
