Article Synopsis
- Older women with breast cancer generally exhibit more favorable tumor biology than younger women, but the role of the androgen receptor (AR) in this population is under-researched.
- A study analyzed surgical specimens from 575 older women and compared AR positivity and other biomarkers to a group of 1708 younger women, revealing that AR positivity is prevalent in both cohorts (59% in older women vs. 63% in younger women) and linked to better tumor characteristics.
- AR-positive tumors in older women correlate with improved breast cancer-specific survival rates, indicating AR's potential prognostic value in breast cancer outcomes.
