Abstrakt: Background: The eighth edition of new staging systems for breast cancer incorporated four biological factors and the anatomic staging system. Validating analysis on Chinese patients has been limited. Our study performed analysis comparing the prognostic value of the staging system based on Chinese data.
Methods and Materials: All patients were classified according to the eighth edition and compared between anatomic and prognostic staging systems. The Kaplan-Meier test was used to calculate the overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). We performed Harrell concordance index (C-index) analyses to quantify a models' predictive performance. Akaike information criterion (AIC) via Cox regression analysis was used to conduct bootstrap-based goodness-of-fit comparisons of the competing staging systems.
Results: A total of 1556 patients were enrolled in the cohort. The median follow-up time was 76 mo (range, 4-146 mo), the median age was 48 y old (range, 21-87 y). The ratio of movement between anatomic stage (AS) and prognostic stage (PS) was 50.9%. Of these, 691 (44.5%) AS patients were down staged and 100 (6.4%) patients were upstaged when reclassified based on PS. Significant differences between two stages were achieved for stage IIIC in 5-y OS rates and for IIIB in 5-y DFS rates (63.5% versus 50.0% and 58.0% versus44.0%). The value of the C-index for PS and AS were 0.711 and 0.687 (P = 0.04). The AIC reaches a value of 3452.9 for the PS and a value of 3476.4 for the AS.
Conclusions: The PS might provide better accuracy than the AS in predicting the prognosis of Chinese female breast cancer patients. It also provides a strong basis for the utility of clinical biomarkers to evaluate the prognosis of patients.
