Prognostic Factors for Cancer-Specific Survival and Disease-Free Interval of Dogs with Mammary Carcinomas.

ABSTRACT: Canine mammary tumors (CMTs) are the most diagnosed neoplasms in dogs; however, there are few studies analyzing the influence of epidemiological, clinicopathological, and histopathological data on cancer-specific survival (CSS), disease-free interval (DFI), and overall survival (OS) in a large cohort. To contribute to the understanding of the biological behavior of this neoplasm, 385 cases were analyzed, 89% malignant, 4% benign, and 7% non-neoplastic lesions. Among the dogs diagnosed with malignant neoplasms, 86% had early clinical stages (I-III), while 14% had regional or distant metastasis at the time of diagnosis. Carcinoma in a mixed tumor was the most frequent histological type with 44% of the cases and had the best prognosis. Analyzed factors such as the presence of pseudocyesis, previous history of the disease, advanced clinical stage (IV-V), and presence of ulceration obtained significant results for CSS, DFI, and OS through univariate analysis and had a negative impact on the survival of the patients. Multivariate analysis showed that histological grading and age proved to be the best independent parameters for the prognostic evaluation of CSS and DFI in this study. These factors were also significant in the overall survival analysis. Therefore, these parameters should be considered valuable risk and prognostic factors for CMTs.

Project description:BackgroundThe analysis of disease-free survival and related factors leads to a better understanding of the patient's condition and recurrence-related characteristics and provides a basis for more appropriate treatment guidance. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of prognostic factors on disease-free survival in breast cancer with a quantile regression model.MethodsThis retrospective study was conducted by reviewing data obtained from 2056 breast cancer patients. Age at diagnosis and education status, tumor size, lymph node ratio, tumor grade, estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor, type of surgery, use of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy were the prognosis factors considered in this study. A quantile regression model was used to investigate prognostic factors of disease-free survival in breast cancer.ResultsDisease recurrence was verified in 251 (13.9%) women, and 39 (0.02%) women died before experience recurrence. The 10th percentile of disease-free survival for patients with the hormone therapy was 23.85 months greater than patients who did not receive this treatment (P value < .001). In the examination of the tumor size, the 10th and 20th percentiles of disease-free survival for patients with tumor size > 5 cm were 31.06 and 27 months less than patients with the tumor size < 2 cm, respectively (P value = .006 and .021, respectively). Compared with grade 1 tumors, the 10th and 20th percentiles of disease-free survival for patients with grade 3 tumors decreased 30.11 and 38.32 months, respectively (P value < .001 and .038, respectively). The 10th and 20th percentiles of disease-free survival decreased 28.16 and 45.32 months with a 1 unit increase in lymph node ratio, respectively (P value = .032 and .032, respectively).ConclusionsAmong the prognostic factors, tumor size, grade, and lymph node ratio showed a close relationship with disease-free survival in breast cancer. The findings indicated that developing public screening and educational programs through the health care system with more emphasis on low-educated women is needed among Iranian women.
