Breast cancer subtypes may hold clues to survival and cost
NCT ID NCT07856225
First seen Oct 02, 2026 · Last updated Oct 02, 2026
Summary
Researchers in Bogota, Colombia, are reviewing the medical records of 370 women treated for breast cancer between 2014 and 2024. They want to see how different molecular subtypes of the disease relate to survival, recurrence, treatment response, and side effects. The study also looks at how the COVID-19 pandemic and health insurance type affected outcomes, and estimates the direct medical costs of care. No treatments are assigned or changed; the team only studies existing records.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- The findings could help doctors in Colombia match treatments to breast cancer subtypes and plan care budgets more accurately.
- What could go wrong
- This is a look back at old records from one hospital, so it cannot prove cause and effect, and the results may not apply to other clinics or countries.

Who is studied
Women 18 years or older with histologically confirmed breast cancer and a documented molecular subtype who were treated and/or followed at Hospital Universitario Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá (Bogotá, Colombia) between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2024, identified through institutional clinical databases, pathology reports and oncology follow-up records.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients older than 18 years with a histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer. * Treated at Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2024. * Available record of the tumor molecular subtype (luminal A, luminal B HER2-negative, luminal B HER2-positive, HER2-enriched or triple-negative), determined by immunohistochemistry and/or in situ hybridization. Exclusion Criteria: * Metastatic tumors from another primary site involving the breast (for example, breast metastases from another primary tumor). * Lesions of uncertain malignant potential or in situ tumors. * Incomplete or missing information on molecular subtype, treatment received or clinical outcomes. * Oncology follow-up outside the institution without adequate traceability of clinical outcomes.
