BACKGROUND The single progesterone receptor (PR)-positive phenotype (estrogen receptor (ER)-/PR + , sPR positive) is an infrequent and independent biological entity. However, the prognosis of patients with sPR-positive and her-2-negative phenotype is still controversial, and it is not always easy to decide treatment strategies for them. METHODS Patients during 2010-2014 were identified from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate cancer-specific survival (CSS). The propensity score matching (PSM) method was used to balance differences of characteristics in groups. The Life-Table method was used to calculate 5-year CSS rates and the annual hazard rate of death (HRD). RESULTS A total of 97,527 patients were included, and only 745 (0.76%) patients were sPR-positive phenotype. The majority of sPR-positive breast cancer were basal-like subtype. Survival analysis showed that the sPR-positive breast cancer had similar prognosis comparing to double hormonal receptor-negative (ER-/PR-, dHoR-negative) breast cancer, and had the highest HRD during the initial 1-2 years of follow-up, then maintained the HRD of almost zero during the late years of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS The patients with sPR-positive and her-2-negative breast cancer, similar to dHoR-negative breast cancer, had a worse survival, and could benefit from chemotherapy significantly. However, the escalating endocrine therapy was not recommended for sPR-positive patients. The patients with sPR positive should be excluded from future clinical trials concerning endocrine therapy.

D011960 Receptors, Estrogen Cytoplasmic proteins that bind estrogens and migrate to the nucleus where they regulate DNA transcription. Evaluation of the state of estrogen receptors in breast cancer patients has become clinically important.

D011980 Receptors, Progesterone Specific proteins found in or on cells of progesterone target tissues that specifically combine with progesterone. The cytosol progesterone-receptor complex then associates with the nucleic acids to initiate protein synthesis. There are two kinds of progesterone receptors, A and B. Both are induced by estrogen and have short half-lives.

D016019 Survival Analysis A class of statistical procedures for estimating the survival function (function of time, starting with a population 100% well at a given time and providing the percentage of the population still well at later times). The survival analysis is then used for making inferences about the effects of treatments, prognostic factors, exposures, and other covariates on the function.

D018719 Receptor, ErbB-2 A cell surface protein-tyrosine kinase receptor that is overexpressed in a variety of ADENOCARCINOMAS. It has extensive homology to and heterodimerizes with the EGF RECEPTOR, the ERBB-3 RECEPTOR, and the ERBB-4 RECEPTOR. Activation of the erbB-2 receptor occurs through heterodimer formation with a ligand-bound erbB receptor family member.
