چکیده
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of and survival following brain metastases among women with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Two hundred and three women with newly diagnosed stage III/IV IBC diagnosed from 2003 to 2008, with known Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and hormone receptor status, were identified. Cumulative incidence of brain metastases was computed. Survival estimates were computed using the Kaplan-Meier product limit method. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were fitted to explore the relationship between breast tumor subtype and time to brain metastases. RESULTS Median follow-up was 20 months. Thirty-two (15.8%) patients developed brain metastases with a cumulative incidence at 1 and 2 years of 2.7% and 18.7%, respectively. Eleven (5.3%) patients developed brain metastases as the first site of recurrence with cumulative incidence at 1 and 2 years of 1.6% and 5.7%, respectively. Compared with women with triple receptor-negative IBC, those with hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative disease [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.55, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.19-1.51, P = 0.24] had a decreased risk of developing brain metastases, and those with HER2-positive disease (HR = 1.02, 95% CI 0.43-2.40, P = 0.97) had an increased risk of developing brain metastases, although these associations were not statistically significant. Median survival following a diagnosis of brain metastases was 6 months. CONCLUSION Women with newly diagnosed IBC have a high early incidence of brain metastases associated with poor survival and may be an ideal cohort to target for site-specific screening.

Background and Aim : identifying the risk factors for metastasis is major concern for treatment processes of cancer patients. Metastasis makes patients frail and increase hazard of death. It also decreases physical and psychological quality of life of patients. Aim of this study is determining of prognostic factors for metastasis of breast cancer using conditional regression model.

fer significantly. Although this might be a good opportunity to review the association of TNBC and HER-positive tumors with brain metastases, it is difficult to interpret the data without having the denominators for each breast cancer subtype and see the true incidence of brain metastases in each group. With the known overall poor prognostic outcome associated with TNBC, and the inference from ...

Background and Objective: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide. This study was conducted to analyze the factors related to survival of patients with breast cancer using two models of Cox proportional specific-cause and sub-distribution models (direct modeling of cumulative incidence). These patients were at the competitive risk of death from breast cancer and also ...
