Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes breast cancer survival in women from Martinique between 2008-2017, focusing on various prognostic factors such as demographics, cancer stage, and hormone receptor status.
- A total of 1,708 patients were included, revealing a median age of 57 years, with 20.9% diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and one-year overall survival (OS) rates of 95.2%, dropping to 80.1% at five years.
- The findings highlight that metastatic disease, TNBC, HR+/HER2- status, and age over 75 significantly increase the risk of death, marking it as a crucial study for understanding breast cancer outcomes in this region.

We present here a roadmap of cooperation priorities and activities in cancer surveillance and oncology in Martinique.
