结论乳腺伴间叶分化的化生性癌发病率低,侵袭性强、受体阳性率低,且治疗后早期容易出现复发或转移,预后差。
Abstract:ObjectiveTo investigate the clinicopathological features and the prognosis of metaplastic carcinoma of the breast with mesenchymal differentiation patients.
MethodsWe analyzed retrospectively the clinicopathological data of 28 metaplastic carcinoma of the breast with mesenchymal differentiation patients who were admitted from 2003 to 2013 in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital. The survival rate was calculated by Kaplan-Meier analysis.
ResultsAll patients were females aged 30-89 years(median age 53.5 years). The average maximum diameter of the tumor was 3.3cm. The positive rates of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2) were 10.7%, 10.7% and 3% respectively. In the follow-up visits, the recurrence or metastasis were found in eight patients, and six patients died of tumor recurrence and metastasis. The median follow-up was 40 months. Five-year overall survival rate and 5-year disease-free survival rate were 64.9 % and 61%, respectively.
ConclusionMetaplastic carcinoma of the breast with mesenchymal differentiation is highly invasive, with low rates of positive receptors and morbidity, early distant metastasis or recurrence after operation, and poor prognosis.

1.2 随访情况
所有患者通过电话和门诊进行随访,随访截至2015年6月1日,随访内容包括患者生存状况,术后接受辅助治疗的情况,肿瘤有无复发、转移。无失访病例。
1.3 统计学方法
应用SPSS17.0软件进行统计学分析。Kaplan-Meier法计算生存率并绘制生存曲线。

3 讨论
乳腺化生性癌是以腺癌成分伴有明显的梭形细胞分化、鳞化和(或)间叶分化的一组异质性癌,仅占同期乳腺癌病例的1%不到[1-2]。据肿瘤形态将乳腺化生性癌分为2种类型:纯上皮型及上皮/间叶组织混合型[3]。和非特殊类型浸润性导管癌相比,乳腺伴间叶分化的化生性癌的临床特点及预后有其独自的特点:肿瘤体积更大、组织学分级高、激素受体阳性率低、淋巴结转移率低[4]。
本研究结果显示,乳腺伴间叶分化的化生性癌可发生在各年龄阶段的女性(30~89岁),中位发病年龄为53.5岁,绝经后多见。有研究[5]显示,乳腺化生性癌以中老年女性多见,本研究与文献报道一致。乳腺伴间叶分化的化生性癌临床特征与其他类型乳腺癌无明显差异,多数患者以无痛性肿块为主要原因就诊,本组病例中个别患者伴有乳头溢液及派杰氏病。本组病例肿瘤平均最大直径为3.3 cm,与文献[6]报道乳腺化生性癌一般肿物体积较大一致。
乳腺伴间叶分化的化生性癌临床与影像学表现无特殊性,且术前空芯针活检多不能发现化生性成分,因此术前诊断往往较困难。其确诊主要依靠术后病理及免疫组织化学检査[4]。本组病例中,接受空芯针活检和术中冰冻病理检查的患者确诊率较低,所以我们认为在乳腺伴间叶分化的化生性癌中,空芯针活检和术中冰冻病理检查对判断肿瘤的性质有一定的价值,而对其确诊仍需根据术后石蜡病理和免疫组织化学结果。
本组28例患者中,ER、PR和Her-2的阳性率分别为10.7%、10.7%和3%,激素受体阳性率明显低于我国乳腺癌的表达率[7],与国内外研究[8-9]相符。激素受体阳性率低可部分解释其恶性程度高的原因。激素受体阴性的乳腺癌具有更高的复发和转移率,乳腺伴间叶分化的化生性癌雌、孕激素受体常常表现为阴性,所以大多数人不适合内分泌治疗,但对激素受体阳性的患者进行内分泌治疗是必要的。本组行腋窝淋巴结清扫的26例患者中存在淋巴结转移3例,与国外研究[10-11]乳腺化生性癌淋巴结转移率低一致。
据NCCN乳腺伴间叶分化的化生性癌的治疗遵循非特殊类型浸润性乳腺癌综合治疗的原则,治疗以手术为主,术后辅以化疗和放疗等综合治疗。但由于化生性癌患者发现时肿块往往较大,因此其保乳手术率较非特殊类型浸润性乳腺癌相对要低,但对于适合保乳的患者可选择保乳治疗。国外研究[12]发现乳腺化生性癌根治术和保乳术总生存率和无病生存率无差别。乳腺伴间叶分化的化生性癌患者对术后辅助化疗敏感度较低,一个大样本回顾性研究显示和非特殊类型浸润性导管癌相比化生性癌患者在术后辅助化疗中获益较少[13]。但由于激素受体状态多阴性和Her-2阳性率较低,患者常接受术后辅助化疗。术后放疗后有无生存获益尚不明确。Tseng等[11]回顾分析1 051例乳腺化生性癌,38.6%患者接受术后放疗,多因素分析显示放疗可提高总生存率。
目前普遍认为乳腺化生性癌的预后较差。尽管淋巴结转移率低,但较容易发生远处转移。杨迎旭等[14]分析94例癌肉瘤患者5年总生存率率为65.5%,低于同期一般乳腺癌。文献报道[15]产生基质的化生性癌和非特殊类型导管癌相比,更容易局部复发和远处转移,无病生存期更短,而伴软骨样分化病例报道较少。本组8例患者出现复发或转移,其中肺转移4例,5年生存率和5年无病生存率分别为64.9%和61%,显示乳腺伴间叶分化的化生性癌侵袭性较非特殊类型浸润性乳腺癌要强。
本研究是单中心、回顾性研究,病例数较少,未进行单因素和多因素生存分析,未比较伴有不同间质成分的乳腺化生性癌之间预后或病理特点有何不同。需要进一步累积样本来明确其临床病理特征及预后。
总之,乳腺伴间叶分化的化生性癌是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,其发病率低,临床特征缺乏特异性,确诊应依靠术后石蜡病理及免疫组织化学结果。激素受体阳性率低,侵袭性强,术后应密切随访。
