Background: Women with early-stage TN breast cancers are at increased risk for recurrence (RR) compared to other molecular subtypes, and are often treated with mastectomy without local adjuvant therapy. We wish to evaluate the RR for these women. Methods: In this single institution retrospective study, women with T1-2N0 TN breast cancer who underwent mastectomy between 2008-12 were identified from tumor registry. Adjuvant chemotherapy was allowed, but adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) was excluded. Of 3,000 cases reviewed, 52 women were identified. Median age was 58.5 (30–90). Lesions were high-grade (83%), and T1-2 (47%, 53%). 21 women (42%) had at least 1 risk factor. 5 women were BRCA+. Women underwent total mastectomy or modified radical mastectomy, and the majority (84%) had adjuvant chemotherapy. Results: At a median follow-up of 3.5 years (6-71 months), there were 8 recurrences (15.4%). 3 (5.8% of cohort) were locoregional (LR) only (2 chest wall (CW) and 1 ipsilateral axilla), 6 (11.5%) involved a concurrent LR and distant recurrence, and 2 (3.8%) were distant only. Median time to recurrence was 17.3 months. The isolated LR recurrences (LRR) were at 14, 15.6 and 15.1 months. Most women (41, 78.8%) were alive with NED. 3 were alive with disease, underdoing treatment, and 1 woman was disease free after treatment for CW recurrence. 8 patients (15.4%) are deceased, half from their cancer. On univariate analysis, there was no significant correlation (p>0.05) between age or high-risk features and RR (STATA v 11). Conclusions: T1-2N0 breast cancer patients are believed to have a low RR following mastectomy. TN disease, however, is more aggressive, and the question of irradiating early stage disease after mastectomy has arisen. A single institution, retrospective study found women with T1-2N0 TN disease fare better with BCT that includes RT, compared to mastectomy alone. Other studies have shown no statistical difference in RR between these 2 groups. We found an isolated LRR rate at 3.5 years of 5.8%. Follow-up and ultimately prospective data is needed to determine whether the isolated LRR warrants a change in treatment recommendations for this pt subset.
