Clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of microinvasive breast cancer: A population-based analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Microinvasive breast cancer (MIBC) is a special type of breast cancer with a relatively low prevalence, of which the understanding remains controversial. In this article, we aimed to clarify the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of MIBC in the setting of different molecular subtypes and give feasible suggestions on clinical practice in MIBC.

Methods

This study utilized the data from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Patients were divided into subgroups based on the molecular subtypes, of which the clinicopathological characteristics were further undergone comparative analyses. Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard regression analysis were employed to determine the prognosis of the subtypes, and to explore the pr
