Abstract

Mucinous breast cancer (MBC) represents a distinct histological subtype of breast cancer characterized by the presence of mucin-producing cells within the tumor. This study presents a comprehensive retrospective analysis conducted at a tertiary single-center, aiming to elucidate the clinicopathological characteristics, treatment outcomes, and prognostic factors associated with MBC. The retrospective analysis involved a cohort of patients diagnosed with MBC over a specified period, with a focus on understanding the disease’s unique features and its impact on patient outcomes. Additionally, this paper incorporates a narrative review of the existing literature on MBC, synthesizing key findings from a broad range of studies to provide a comprehensive overview of current knowledge in the field. The review encompasses epidemiological trends, molecular and genetic insights, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic approaches specific to MBC. By combining the results of the single-center analysis with insights from the literature, this study seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of MBC, facilitating improved clinical management and informed decision-making for patients with this rare breast cancer subtype.
