Clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of breast cancer with special histological types: A surveillance, epidemiology, and end results database analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To explore the clinicopathological features and prognosis of breast cancer with special histological types.

Materials and methods

The information of breast cancer patients was obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2010-2016). Comparative analyses were performed to explore the difference in clinicopathological characteristics and propensity score matching (PSM) was used to weaken the effects from clinical profiles. Survival analysis was conducted to investigate the prognostic effects from histological types, and the prognostic factors of this group of patients were identified with the univariate COX proportional model.

Results

A total of 242863 breast cancer patients were eligible, of which 230213 individuals were duc
