Abstract
Breast cancer is currently the leading cause of cancer morbidity and mortality among Algerian women. Molecular classification of breast cancer is an important factor for prognosis and clinical outcome. There are limited data regarding molecular breast cancer subtypes among Algerian women. The objective of the present study was to analyze the proportion and distribution of molecular subtypes and to determine their associations with some clinical and tumor characteristics: age at diagnosis, menopausal status, histological type and histological grade. The study population included 3014 female breast cancers. We analyzed breast cancers from cancer registries of academic medical oncology service of public hospital of Rouiba, anticancer center of Blida, and anticancer center of Batna. Breast cancers were diagnosed between 2008 and 2013. Molecular subtype classification was done based on immunohistochemical surrogates for ER (Estrogen receptor), PR (Progesterone receptor) and HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor-2) status obtained from medical records for 3014 breast cancer patients. Breast cancer subtypes definitions were as follow: Luminal A (ER+ and/or PR+, HER2-), Luminal B (ER+ and/or PR+, HER2+), TNBC (ER-, PR - , HER2-)...Continue Reading
