中国学者通过大数据发现乳腺导管小叶混合浸润癌的临床病理特征和预后因素

2017-09-07 科学报告 SIBCS


  2017年9月4日,英国《自然》旗下《科学报告》在线发表复旦大学附属肿瘤医院上海医学院生物医学研究院(肖毅、马丁、阮淼、赵珅、刘依熔、江一舟、邵志敏)的研究报告,对20万 9109例乳腺导管小叶混合浸润癌(IDC-L)的临床病理特征和预后进行了调查。


乳腺癌的组织学类型超过20种,其中最常见为乳腺导管浸润癌(IDC),约占所有乳腺癌病例的80%,而乳腺小叶侵袭癌(ILC)又占5%~15%。ILC有许多方面与IDC不同,例如ILC常见为多发、双侧、体积较大、组织学分级较低、雌激素受体(ER)和孕激素受体(PR)的表达较高、人表皮生长因子受体2(HER2)表达较低、E-钙黏着蛋白表达缺失。这些差异表明ILC的发生和进展与IDC不同。随着病理学分析技术的发展,IDC-L、IDC、ILC的混合型引起了越来越多的关注。世界卫生组织(WHO)乳腺肿瘤分类2012年版将IDC-L定义为“肿瘤的ILC成分≥50%、IDC成分10%~49%”。既往研究表明,IDC-L约占所有乳腺癌的3%~5%。虽然IDC和ILC的特征已被明确,但是对于IDC-L仍然缺乏深入了解。某些研究表明,IDC-L的人口统计学和临床特征与ILC相似,而最近的基因组分析表明,IDC-L可分为两组:“ILC样”和“IDC样”。IDC-L的预后数据也存在分歧。一项包括261例IDC-L患者的研究发现,IDC-L患者与ILC患者的生存结局相似,而另一项包括140例IDC-L患者的研究表明,IDC-L患者的生存结局与IDC患者相似,但是显著低于ILC患者。由于样本量小、随访时间不足、缺乏对混杂因素的校正、缺乏亚组分析,既往IDC-L研究存在限制和分歧。这些限制可能导致对IDC-L的误解和误治。因此,有必要在大样本人群中澄清IDC-L的临床病理特征和预后因素,这可能有助于医生为IDC-L患者决定更精准的治疗策略。


  本研究从美国国家癌症研究所的监测、流行病学和最终结果(SEER)数据库筛选出20万 9109例诊断为IDC、ILC或IDC-L的原发性乳腺癌患者,对IDC、ILC、IDC-L的临床病理特征和预后进行比较,并通过亚组生存曲线分析,对各个亚组IDC-L、IDC、ILC患者的生存结局进行比较。


  结果发现:

  • IDC-L患者与IDC患者相比,肿瘤分级较低、激素受体阳性比例较高。

  • IDC-L患者与ILC患者相比,年龄较轻、肿瘤较小、淋巴结阳性较少、乳房肿块切除率较高、激素受体阳性比例相似。

  • IDC-L患者的乳腺癌相关生存(BCSS)显著优于IDC患者(P<0.001)、倾向优于ILC患者(P=0.166),但是对临床病理因素进行校正后,IDC-L的生存优势消失。

  • 亚组分析表明,IDC-L与IDC患者相比,1级、2级、ER阳性、ER阴性亚组的风险比较高,ER阳性、ER阴性亚组的BCSS较差。


  综上所述,IDC-L与IDC和ILC相比,是一个独特的组织学亚型,分级较低、ER阳性比例较高,使其预后较好。但是,ER阳性和ER阴性亚组的IDC-L与IDC相比,预后较差,表明需要加强ER阳性和ER阴性IDC-L的治疗。

In order to investigate clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of mixed invasive ductal and lobular carcinoma (IDC-L), 209,109 primary breast cancer patients diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) or IDC-L were included. It was found that IDC-L patients had lower tumor grade and higher hormone receptor positive proportions than IDC patients. Moreover, IDC-L patients were younger and had a similar hormone receptor status compared with ILC patients. Kaplan-Meier plots showed that the breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) of IDC-L patients was significantly better than IDC patients (P<0.001) and tended to be better than ILC patients (P=0.166). However, after adjusting for clinicopathological factors, survival advantage of IDC-L disappeared. Subgroup analysis indicated that IDC-L had higher hazard ratios (HRs) than IDC in grade 1, grade 2, ER-positive and ER-negative subgroups. Survival analysis in ER-positive and ER-negative subgroups showed that IDC-L predicted a worse prognosis than IDC. In conclusion, IDC-L is a distinct histological subtype compared with IDC and ILC. Lower grade and higher ER-positive proportions mainly contribute to its better prognosis. In both ER-positive and ER-negative subgroups, IDC-L predicts worse prognosis than IDC, which suggested the inadequacy of IDC-based therapy and the need of escalated therapy.
