Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors of very young breast cancer(VYBC)patients aged under 25 years.Methods A total of 399 female breast cancer patients aged under 25 years were obtained from the Surveillance,Epidemiology,and End Results database.The chi-square test and the Cox proportional-hazards regression model were used to analyze the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors of the patients included in this study.Results The 2-,3-,5-,and 10-year overall survival rates of the 399 patients were 94.6%,91.3%,86.6%,and 78.7%,respectively.There were significant differences in estrogen receptor(ER)status and the composition ratio of molecular subtypes between the ≤20 years group and the 21-25 years group(x2=5.289,P<0.05;the Fisher's exacttest:P=0.031).There were significant diffe-rences in histological grading(x2=55.692,P<0.001),clinicopathological staging(P=0.024),and T stage(P=0.001)between the patients with different molecular subtypes.The multivariate analysis showed that ER status,T stage,N stage,and Mstage were independent prognostic factors for the overall survival(OS)of VYBC patients(HR=0.385-6.532,95.0%CI=(0.150-2.644)to(0.985-16.964),all P<0.05),while surgical methods and other variables were not independent prognostic factors for OS(all P>0.05).Conclusion ER status,T stage,N stage,and M stage can help to predict the survival and prognosis of VYBC patients in clinical practice,and the selection of surgical procedure is not associated with the OS of VYBC patients.
