Summary
Recurrence rates after benign breast tumor surgery are low overall but higher in phylloid tumors. Genetic factors, including GSR and DKK4 gene polymorphisms, may influence recurrence risk in women.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Genetics
- Surgical Treatment
Context:
- Benign tumors of the mammary gland (BTMG) require effective recurrence prediction strategies post-surgery.
- Existing recurrence prediction schemes for BTMG need further validation and refinement.
Purpose:
- To evaluate modern recurrence prediction schemes for benign tumors of the mammary gland (BTMG) after surgical treatment.
- To investigate the occurrence rate of BTMG recurrences over a five-year period.
- To explore potential genetic predispositions, specifically gene polymorphisms, associated with BTMG recurrence.
Summary:
- Retrospective analysis showed a 2.3% recurrence rate for BTMG over five years.
- Prospective observation revealed a 24.0% recurrence rate in patients with phylloid histologic forms of BTMG.
- BTMG recurrences were predominantly observed in women carrying mutant alleles for the GSR gene (rs8190924 polymorphism) and DKK4 gene (AA rs3763511 polymorphism).
- While not definitively confirmed as genetically determined, the odds ratio for these polymorphisms was 12.0 (95% CI: 0.8–14.9).
Impact:
- Identifies specific BTMG histologic types (phylloid) with higher recurrence rates.
- Highlights potential genetic markers (GSR and DKK4 polymorphisms) associated with BTMG recurrence.
- Provides data to inform future research on genetically influenced recurrence risk in BTMG.
- Contributes to improved patient stratification and personalized follow-up strategies for BTMG.
