Description
Lei Yin, Ai-Hong Yin, and Chen-Chen Pu describe a rare breast cancer in a 2023 study based on a large United States registry. Primary small cell carcinoma of the breast is little known next to the common ductal form. The team pulled cases from 2004 to 2016 and compared 83 such patients with a huge group of ductal cases.
The rare cancer struck older patients, was more often high grade and late stage, and was more often of the triple negative type. Survival was much worse, with a median near two years. The team matched patients to adjust for baseline gaps and built charts to predict survival for this rare form, to aid counseling and care planning.
