Prognosis of invasive micropapillary carcinoma compared with invasive ductal carcinoma in breast: A meta-analysis of PSM studies

Background: Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) is a rare histological subtype of breast cancer. The outcome of IMPC remains controversial; we conducted a meta-analysis of propensity score matching (PSM) studies to evaluate the prognostic difference between IMPC and invasive ductal carcinoma (I...

description Background: Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) is a rare histological subtype of breast cancer. The outcome of IMPC remains controversial; we conducted a meta-analysis of propensity score matching (PSM) studies to evaluate the prognostic difference between IMPC and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane library for PSM studies comparing survival data between IMPC and IDC. The summarized odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) are calculated by STATA software utilizing fixed-effect or random-effect models, depending on the heterogeneity of the eligible studies. Results: Eight PSM studies including 2102 IMPC patients are included in the meta-analysis. Compared with IDC, IMPC has a similar overall survival (OS) (estimated OR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.61–1.25), but a shorter relapse free survival (RFS) (estimated OR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.06–1.61); the shorter RFS might owe to the significantly higher loco-regional recurrence rate of IMPC (estimated OR = 3.60, 95% CI: 1.99–6.52). Funnel plots and Egger’s tests are used to evaluate publication bias and the p value for OS and RFS are 0.036 and 0.564 respectively. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that compared with IDC, IMPC exhibits a similar, even favorite OS, but a shorter RFS; and the shorter RFS might owe to the significantly higher loco-regional recurrence rate of IMPC. These results could contribute to the individualized therapy and follow-up strategies for IMPC patients.
