Background: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women, with its prognosis varying greatly according to its subtype. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has the worst prognosis among all subtypes. Glycosylation is a critical factor influencing the prognosis of patients with TNBC. Our aim is to develop a tumor prognosis model by analyzing genes related to glycosylation to predict patient outcomes.

Methods: The dataset used in this study was downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA) database, and predictive genes were identified through Cox one-way regression analysis. The model genes with the highest risk scores among the 18 samples were obtained by lasso regression analysis to establish the model. We analyzed the pathways affecting the progression of TNBC and discovered key genes for subsequent research.

Results: Our model was constructed using data from TCGA database and validated through Kaplan-Meier curve analysis and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve assessment. Our analysis revealed that a high expression of tumor-related chemokines in the high-risk group may be associated with poor tumor prognosis. Furthermore, we conducted a random survival forest analysis and identified two significant genes, namely DPM2 and PINK1, which have been selected for further investigation.

Conclusion: The prognostic analysis model, developed based on the glycosylation genes in TNBC, exhibits excellent validation efficacy. This model is valuable for the prognostic analysis of patients with TNBC.

Importance: The 2009 US Preventive Services Task Force breast cancer screening guideline changes led to decreases in screening mammography, raising concern about potential increases in late-stage disease and more invasive surgical treatments.

Objective: To investigate the incidence of breast cancer by stage at diagnosis and surgical treatment before and after the 2009 guideline changes.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This population-based, epidemiologic cohort study of women aged 40 years or older used 2004 to 2019 data from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a serious disease with limited treatment options. We explored the significance of androgen receptor (AR) expression and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in predicting neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) resistance in TNBC, hypothesizing that AR/TIL classification using pretreatment biopsies can identify NAC-resistant subgroups and improve the understanding of apocrine differentiation.

Methods: This retrospective study included 156 consecutive patients with TNBC treated with NAC.

Background: In patients with breast cancer staged ypN1 after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), there is limited evidence-based guidance regarding exemption from axillary lymph node dissection (ALND).

Methods: This study analyzed ypN1 breast cancer patients post-NAC from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results databases. Patients were categorized into the breast-conserving surgery (BCS) group and the total mastectomy (TM) group, and further divided by the number of positive lymph nodes (LNs).

Purpose: The objective of the current research was to assess the clinicopathological characteristics and long-term prognosis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low status following breast surgery.

Methods: A total of 202 TNBC patients treated at Qingdao Central Hospital from January 2010 to December 2019 were included, comprising 71 HER2-low and 131 HER2-zero patients. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to minimize differences between the cohorts.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a novel class of targeted anti-tumor medications that utilize the covalent linkage between monoclonal antibodies and cytotoxic agents. This unique mechanism combines the cytotoxic potency of drugs with the targeting specificity conferred by antigen recognition. However, it is essential to recognize that many ADCs still face challenges related to off-target toxicity akin to cytotoxic payloads, as well as targeted toxicity and other potential life-threatening adverse effects, such as treatment-induced interstitial lung injury.
