    Background Latin American (LA) studies on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and their characteristics are scarce. This forces physicians to make clinical decisions based on data obtained from studies that include non-Hispanic patients. Our study sought to obtain local epidemiological data, including risk factors and clinical outcomes from a Chilean BC registry. Methods This was a retrospective population-cohort study that included patients treated at a community hospital (mid-low income) or an academic private center (high income), in the 2010-2021 period. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify prognostic factors associated with survival. Results 647 out of 5,806 BC patients (11.1%) were TNBC. These patients were younger (p = 0.0001) and displayed lower rates of screening-detected cases (p = 0.0001) compared to non-TNBC counterparts. Among TNBC patients, lower income (i. e., receiving treatment at a community hospital) was associated with poorer overall survival (HR: 1.53; p = 0.0001) and poorer BC specific survival (HR: 1.29; p = 0.004). Other risk factors showed no significant differences between TNBC and non-TNBC. As expected, 5-year OS was significantly shorter on TNBC versus non-TNBC patients (p = 0.00001). In our multivariate analyses TNBC subtype (HR: 2.30), locally advanced stage (HR: 7.04 for stage III), lower income (HR: 1.64), or non-screening detected BC (HR: 1.32) were associated with poorer OS. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest LA cohort of TNBC patients. Interestingly, the proportion of TNBC among Chileans was smaller compared to similar studies within LA. As expected, TNBC patients had poorer survival and higher risk for early recurrence versus non-TNBC. Other relevant findings include a higher proportion of premenopausal patients among TNBC. Also, mid/low-income patients that received medical attention at a community hospital displayed lower survival versus private health center counterparts.

    Purpose The incidence of breast cancer in young women (BCYW) has increased in recent decades. Malignant disease in this subset is characterized by its aggressiveness and poor prognosis. Ovarian function suppression (OFS) in these patients improves survival especially in hormone receptor-positive (HR +) cases. The Regan Composite Risk (RCR) is a prognostic tool to identify high-risk HR + BC candidates for OFS. Our study sought to characterize a Chilean cohort of early HR + BCYW assessing the use of OFS and its related prognosis and the utility of RCR in our patients.MethodsThis was a retrospective population cohort study that included ≤ 35-year-old early HR + /human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 -negative (HER2-) BC patients treated between 2001 and 2021. Analysis included clinical-pathological characteristics, treatment strategies, and survival. Also, we evaluated the association between RCR and survival.ResultsA total of 143 patients were included into our study, representing 2.9% of all early BC cases in our registry. Median age was 31 years old (range: 19–35). Most patients (93%) received endocrine therapy (ET). Of these, 18% received OFS. No survival differences were observed among treatment strategies. Median RCR score for patients treated with CT plus ET was significantly higher vs. ET alone (2.95 vs. 1.91; p = 0.0001). Conversely, patients treated with tamoxifen alone had significantly lower RCR scores vs. OFS (2.72 vs. 3.14; p = 0.04). Higher RCR scores were associated with poorer overall survival.ConclusionLess than 20% of very young women with early HR + /HER2-BC in our cohort received OFS, in most cases, this involved surgical oophorectomy. RCR score was higher in patients that underwent CT and OFS and was associated with survival, regardless of treatment. We confirm the RCR score as a valuable prognostic tool to identify high-risk BC patients who could benefit from OFS.
