20-Year study sheds light on rare breast tumor outcomes
NCT ID NCT07636096
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study reviewed medical records of about 3,500 patients with phyllodes tumors, a rare type of breast tumor, treated at 8 top hospitals in China between 2001 and 2023. Researchers aim to describe the tumor features, treatments used, and long-term outcomes like recurrence and survival. Because phyllodes tumors are uncommon and most prior research focused on Western patients, this study provides much-needed data from a large Asian population.
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
- If successful, this study could improve understanding of phyllodes tumors in Asian populations and help guide personalized treatment and clinical guidelines.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to other populations or change current practice.

Who is studied
This study includes patients who underwent surgical resection for breast phyllodes tumor (PT) at one of eight tertiary hospitals in China between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2023. All patients with a postoperative paraffin-embedded pathology diagnosis of benign, borderline, or malignant PT according to WHO criteria are included. Exclusion criteria are: (1) PT with uncertain behavior or unclassified grade; (2) history of prior malignancy (excluding breast cancer) with less than 5 years disease-free survival, or concurrent diseases that may affect endpoint assessment; (3) loss to follow-up or missing critical data (pathological grade, surgical procedure, or follow-outcome). A total of approximately 3,500 eligible patients from eight participating centers will be enrolled. All patients are of Chinese ethnicity.
