Article Synopsis
- Patients with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) experience worse overall survival compared to non-IBC patients, despite similar treatment approaches.
- The study analyzed data from 38,390 women with stage III breast cancer, showing that IBC patients had lower pathologic complete response (pCR) rates (20.7% vs. 23.3% for non-IBC), and higher 5-year mortality for those achieving pCR (16.4% vs. 9.1%).
- The findings suggest that even when IBC patients achieve pCR, their survival outcomes remain poorer than those of non-IBC patients, indicating the need for more effective treatment strategies for IBC.
