Article Synopsis

- Two years later, he experienced dyspareunia and was found to have penile skin changes, leading to a diagnosis of metastatic gastric cancer.
- After receiving chemotherapy and salvage radiotherapy, he was monitored for 15 months but eventually lost to follow-up and passed away.
Introduction: We investigated clinical and pathologic features of breast cancers (BC) in an unselected series of patients diagnosed in a tertiary care hospital serving a diverse population. We focused on triple-negative (Tneg) tumours (oestrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and HER2 negative), which are associated with poor prognosis.
Methods: We identified female patients with invasive BC diagnosed between 1998 and 2006, with data available on tumor grade, stage, ER, PR and HER2 status, and patient age, body mass index (BMI) and self-identified racial/ethnic group.
