Background: Because of its high-risk biological features and lack of effective treatment options, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has received greater clinical and experimental interest. Aim and objectives: The aim of this study was to compare and analyze the clinicopathological features, recurrence, metastasis, and prognosis of patients with TNBC and non-triple negative breast cancer (non-TNBC). Material and methods: This single hospital-based retrospective study was conducted on patients who were histopathologically diagnosed with breast cancer and subsequently treated from 2017 to 2018 at the Acharya Harihar Postgraduate Institute of Cancer. The clinical features and prognosis of TNBC and non-TNBC were compared. Results: This study comprised a total of 111 patients, with 36 (32.43%) being TNBC and 75 (67.56%) being non-TNBC. TNBC has 22 patients under the age of 40 (61.1%). Grade III tumors were seen in 47% of TNBC patients and 21% of non-TNBC patients (p-value = 0.05). The disease free survival (DFS) was determined to be 58 % for TNBC and 82% for non-TNBC groups, respectively (p-value = 0.05). These two groups had an overall survival rate (OS) of 72% and 92%, respectively (p-value = 0.05). Conclusion: When compared to non-TNBC, TNBC was related to high-grade malignancies, worse disease-free survival , and overall survival (OS) rates. Understanding the molecular features of TNBC, clarifying its mechanism at the molecular level, interpreting the gene expression profiles of TNBC, and studying and creating new therapeutic targets should be the focus of future research. To enhance the prognosis of TNBC patients, try to find a focused and effective therapy. Keywords: Breast cancer; survival; triple-negative breast cancer.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive disease. Nomograms can predict prognosis of patients with TNBC. Methods: A total of 745 eligible TNBC patients were recruited and randomly divided into training and validation groups. Endpoints were disease-free survival and overall survival. Concordance index, area under the curve and calibration curves were used to analyze the predictive accuracy and discriminative ability of nomograms. Results: Based on the training cohort, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, positive lymph nodes, tumor size and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes were used to construct a nomogram for disease-free survival. In addition, age was added to the overall survival nomogram. Conclusion: The current study developed and validated well-calibrated nomograms for predicting disease-free survival and overall survival in patients with TNBC.

e18210 Background: Although many studies have investigated the association of blood 25OH-vitamin D (vit-D) levels with breast cancer prognosis, the results have been mixed. It has been suggested that low vit-D concentrations were associated with advanced tumor stage and triple-negative (TNBC) subtype. We retrospectively investigated associations of serum vit-D levels with triple negative breast cancer outcome. Methods: Out of 797 cases of TNBC diagnosed at William Beaumont Hospital between 2006-2017, 163 patients had vit-D level available within 1 year prior to diagnosis. Analyses of vit-D levels was classified by 3 cut points (deficient, < 20.0 ng/mL; insufficient, 20.0-29.9 ng/mL; sufficient, ≥30.0 ng/mL). Primary outcomes are disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). SPSS statistics 25 software was used to analyze the data. Results: Median age of diagnosis of TNBC was 60. Of these patients 43.6% were diagnosed with stage I, 37.4% at stage II, 4.9% at stage III and 4.9% at stage IV. 47.2% of the patients had sufficient vit-D level prior to diagnosis, 28.2% with insufficient vit-D level and 24.5% with deficient vit-D. Vit-D deficiency was more prevalent in premenopausal than in postmenopausal women (33.3%, 41% and 25.6% in premenopausal women for deficient, insufficient and sufficient levels respectively vs 21.8%, 24.2% and 54% in postmenopausal women). Rates of Vit-D deficiency were not different between early disease and advanced disease (24.3% of patient with stage I-II vs 25% in patients with stage III-IV). Median OS and disease-free survival were not statistically different among the 3 different categories. 5-year OS was 91%, 91% and 85% for deficient, insufficient and sufficient levels respectively. 5-year DFS was 93%, 95% and 95% for deficient, insufficient and sufficient levels respectively. Multivariate COX regression analysis demonstrated that age and stage were associated with mortality, whereas vit-D level was not. Conclusions: The results from this study show that adequate vit-D level do not have an impact on OS and DFS in patients with triple negative breast cancer. Premenopausal women are more likely to have inadequate vit-D level. Identification and treatment of vitamin D deficiency is still important for musculoskeletal health and possibly extraskeletal health in general population and breast cancer survivors specifically.

Objective: To analyze the clinical, pathological, and sociodemographic aspects between triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and non-TNBC in a Brazilian cohort and identify potential prognostic factors. Methods: This hospital-based retrospective cohort study included 447 women with breast cancer treated at referral centers in Southeastern Brazil. Overall and disease-free survival were compared; prognostic factors were evaluated. Results: Triple-negative breast cancer corresponded to 19.5% of breast cancer diagnosis and was more prevalent among nonwhite and less educated women. The patients with TNBC tended to present with stage III cancer, high p53 expression, lymphocytic infiltration, and multifocality and treated with radical surgery and chemotherapy. The 5-year overall and disease-free survival were 62.1% and 57.5% for TNBC and 80.8% and 75.3% for non-TNBC, respectively ( P < .001). The TNBC recurrence was associated with multicentricity, whereas lymph node involvement increased the risk of both recurrence and death. Non-TNBC worse clinical course was associated with nonwhite ethnicity, lower education level, lymph node involvement, and advanced stage. Conclusions: Triple-negative breast cancer exhibited a more aggressive behavior, earlier and more frequent recurrence, and worse survival compared with non-TNBC. While biological and social variables were associated with poorer prognosis in non-TNBC, only lymph node involvement and multicentricity were correlated with worse clinical outcomes in TNBC.
