Breast, Breast Cancer, Pathology
Conditions
Brief summary
Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women worldwide, and distant metastasis is the main cause of poor prognosis and death. This project aims to construct a precision prediction system based on multi-omics (digital pathology, immunohistochemistry, proteomics, gene sequencing) and artificial intelligence to predict distant and organ-specific metastasis (bone, lung, liver, brain) in breast cancer, analyze its mechanisms, and provide new solutions for precision medicine.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
1. Female patients pathologically diagnosed with breast cancer at our hospital or participating centers between January 1, 2000, and December 30, 2028. 2. Must meet one of the following: 1) Initially diagnosed with breast cancer at our hospital, has developed distant metastasis (liver, bone, lung, or brain), and has a biopsy or surgical specimen from the metastatic site stored at our hospital, with complete clinical information available. 2) Primary tumor specimen is not at our hospital, but a biopsy or surgical specimen from a distant metastatic site (liver, bone, lung, brain) is stored at our hospital.
Exclusion criteria
1. Concomitant metastatic malignancy from another primary cancer. 2. Incomplete clinical information.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Metastasis-Free Survival | From diagnosis up to December 30, 2028 | Time from initial breast cancer diagnosis to the occurrence of distant metastasis. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Performance of Prediction Models | At the end of the study (December 2028) | Evaluate the performance of (1) the metastatic risk stratification model, (2) the organ-specific metastasis prediction model, and (3) the metastasis time-window prediction model. Measure: Accuracy and Area Under the Curve (AUC). (Target accuracy ≥80%, AUC ≥0.80) |
