Clinicopathological Characteristics and Prognosis of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Breast: A Population-Based Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To better understand the clinicopathological features and prognostic profiles of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the breast.

Methods

Information on breast cancer was obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2004-2016). Comparative analyses were carried out to investigate the heterogeneity in the clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes between SCC and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), while propensity score matching was conducted to analyze the variations among baseline characteristics. Prognostic factors for SCC of the breast were successively identified using Cox regression analysis.

Results

A total of 382 SCC patients and 561477 IDC patients were identified in this study. Comparatively, the SCC cohort exhib
