Little is known about the etiologic profile of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC; ER-/PR-/HER2-), a breast cancer subtype associated with high mortality and inadequate therapeutic options. We undertook the study to assess the risk of TNBC among women 45 years of age and younger in relation to demographic/lifestyle factors, reproductive history, and oral contraceptive (OC) use. Study participants were ascertained in two prior population-based, case-control studies. Eligible cases included all primary invasive breast cancers among women ages 20-45 in the Seattle-Puget Sound area, diagnosed between January 1983 and December 1992 for whom complete data was obtained for ER, PR and HER2 status (n=897; including n=187 TNBC cases). Controls were age matched and ascertained via random digit dialing. OC use ≥1 year was associated with a 2.5-fold increased risk of TNBC (95% CI 1.4-4.3) and no significantly increased risk of non-TNBC (P heterogeneity .008). Further, the risk among OC users conferred by longer OC duration and by more recent use was significantly greater for TNBC than non-TNBC (P heterogeneity .02 and .01, respectively). Among women ≤40 years, the relative risk of TNBC associated with OC use ≥1 year was 4.2 (95% CI 1.9-9.3), whereas there was no significantly increased risk with OC use for non-TNBC among women ≤40 years, nor for TNBC or non-TNBC among women 41-45 years of age. In conclusion, significant heterogeneity exists for the association of OC use and breast cancer risk between TNBC and non-TNBC among young women, lending support to a distinct etiology.
