Abstract:
Background: The aim of this registry was to collect demographic, diagnostic, treatment, and outcome information about Turkish patients with breast cancer (BC). Methods: It was designed as a multicenter, cross-sectional, non-interventional study conducted on new and previously diagnosed BC cases applied to 28 medical oncology outpatient clinics between 2012 and 2015. A total of 16841 male (n = 153) and female (n = 16688) patients 〉 18 years were included. Results: Mean age of BC patients was 52.0±11.5 years. Among women, 53.7% were postmenopausal, and 24.4% were receiving hormone replacement (HRT) and/or oral contraceptive therapies (OCT). At time of diagnosis, 18.2% of patients presented with Stage 1, 48.5% with Stage 2, 25.5% with Stage 3, and 7.9% with Stage 4 BC. In 79,8% of the patients histopathology was invasive ductal carcinoma. Estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) were positive in 74.7%, and 69.4% of patients, respectively. Diagnostic immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed in 90.4% of patients. HER2+ was found in 30.2% of patients. HER2+ was observed in 27.6% Stage I, 27.6% Stage II, 36.2% Stage III, and in 41.7% Stage 4 BC. ER and PR positivity were 62.4% and 56.4% among HER2+ patients, respectively. Neoadjuvant therapy was administered in 10.6% and adjuvant therapy was administered in 73.2% of patients. Between 2010 and 2015, trastuzumab was administered in 68.3% of adjuvant (n = 1959), and 7.5% of neoadjuvant (n = 215) HER2+ patients. Conclusions: BC is a major health concern. Majority of the patients are diagnosed in stage 2 or 3, therefore screening should be improved to diagnose patients at earlier stages. In HER2 positive patients, neoadjuvant trastuzumab usage is limited despite its known advantages.
