Oncologic Outcomes of Young Breast Cancer Patients According to Tumor Biology
2025
Overview
Background/Objectives: Young women frequently present with more aggressive breast cancer tumors. This retrospective study analyzed the oncological outcomes of patients under the age of 40 according to the tumor biology. Methods: Group comparisons were performed via the log-rank test. Recurrence and survival rates are presented according to the Kaplan–Meier method. Results: In total, 88 women (mean age 36) were included, but two presented with bilateral cancer, resulting in 90 tumors. Triple-negative carcinoma was most common, with 26.7% (n = 24); 11.1% (n = 10) were luminal A; 23.3% (n = 21) were luminal B HER2-negative; 15.6% (n = 14) were luminal B HER2-positive; and 6.7% (n = 6) were HER2-positive (non-luminal). Moreover, 26.1% (n = 23) of patients experienced recurrence (mean 40 months), with the highest recurrence rate in the HER2-positive (50%) and triple-negative (30.4%) groups. The 3- and 5-year recurrence-free survival rates were 84.9% and 77.3%, and the overall survival rates were 93.1% and 90.3%, respectively. No statistically significant differences in oncological outcomes were observed (p = 0.164). Conclusions: The results show that young women tend to have triple-negative and fast-growing breast carcinomas, with worse overall survival in the triple-negative group. More research is needed on the pathomechanisms of breast cancer development in young women, especially those leading to disease progression and resistance to therapy.
