Association of sonographic features and molecular subtypes in predicting breast cancer disease outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Features in preoperative ultrasound could predict the prognosis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), while its prognostic value in other molecular subtypes of breast cancer (BC) was unknown. The study aimed to assess the prognostic value of preoperative sonographic features, including orientations, on long-term outcomes in BC and its association with different molecular subtypes.

Methods

Women diagnosed with invasive BC > 5 mm who underwent surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical, pathological, and sonographic profiles were collected and recurrence-free survival (RFS) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) were reported. Interactions between clinicopathological features and tumor orientations in predicting RFS and BCSS were analyzed. Competing risk
