Negative progesterone receptor status correlates with increased risk of breast cancer recurrence in luminal B HER2-positive and -negative subtypes
Objectives: The prognostic significance of the progesterone receptor (PR) has been widely investigated in luminal A and luminal B [human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–] breast cancer subtypes, both of which are estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and HER2-negative. In contrast, few studies h...

In contrast, few studies have focused on PR status in luminal B (HER2+) tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of positive PR status on outcomes in patients with luminal B (HER2–) or luminal B (HER2+) breast cancer. Methods: Survival analysis was performed to estimate the likelihood of distant recurrence and death in 469 breast cancer patients with the luminal B (HER2–) or luminal B (HER2+) subtype. The relationship between PR and HER2 status was also assessed. Results: Of 387 luminal B (HER2–) and 82 luminal B (HER2+) cancers, PR+ was significantly more frequent in the former than the latter (86.3% vs. 61.0%, respectively; P<0.001). In univariate analysis, PR was identified as a significant favorable prognostic factor for distant disease–free survival and overall survival in both subtypes, but in multivariate analysis PR was not an independent prognostic factor. Conclusions: After patients with luminal B subtype were divided into two subgroups according to HER2 status, there was evidence of a relatively good prognosis in the PR+ subgroup. Further studies with a larger number of patients are recommended to validate these findings.Toshiaki UtsumiNaomi KobayashiMasahiro HikichiKaori UshimadoMakoto KurodaFujita Medical Societyarticlebreast cancerprogesterone receptor (pr)human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (her2)luminal b subtypeMedicine (General)R5-920ENFujita Medical Journal, Vol 7, Iss 4, Pp 130-135 (2021) |
