Older breast cancer patients represent a heterogeneous population. Studies demonstrate that sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) omission may be appropriate in some clinical scenarios, yet patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are often excluded from these studies. This study evaluated differences in treatment and survival for older patients with TNBC based on SLNB receipt and result. Patients 70 years old or older with a diagnosis of cT1-2/cN0/M0 TNBC (2010-2019) who underwent surgery were selected from the National Cancer Database. Logistic regression estimated the association of SLNB with therapy, and Cox proportional hazards models estimated the association of SLNB with overall survival (OS) after adjustment for select factors. Of the 15,167 patients included in the study (median age, 77 years), 13.02% did not undergo SLNB, 5.14% had pN1 disease, 0.12% had pN2 disease, and 0.01% had pN3 disease. Most of the patients (83.9%) underwent surgery first, and 16.1% received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Of those who underwent surgery first and SLNB, 6.2% had pN+ disease. Receipt of SLNB was associated with a higher likelihood of chemotherapy (odds ratio [OR] 1.85; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.55-2.21), regardless of pN status. Compared with those who did not undergo a SLNB, a negative SLNB was significantly associated with lower mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 0.68; 95% CI 0.63-0.75), although there was no difference for a positive SLNB (HR 1.14; 95% CI 0.98-1.34). The patients receiving chemotherapy first showed no difference in survival based on SLNB receipt or result (p = 0.23). Most older patients with TNBC do not have nodal involvement and do not receive chemotherapy. The receipt and results of SLNB may be associated with outcomes for some who undergo surgery first, but not for those who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
