Evaluating the Success of the Current Standard of Care in Breast Cancer Treatment: A Retrospective Study in Bangladesh

Background: Breast cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among women, with LMICs like Bangladesh facing poorer outcomes due to late diagnoses and limited targeted therapies. This study evaluates the effectiveness of current standard-of-care breast cancer treatment in Bangladesh, focusing on luminal subtypes and survival outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective review of 1,088 breast cancer patients treated at Bangladesh Specialized Hospital was conducted. Data on demographics, tumor subtype, treatment, and outcomes were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression models assessed progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
