BACKGROUND: Patients with invasive breast carcinoma who are ages 35-40 years or younger at the time of diagnosis have been found in several studies to have worse prognosis and higher local failure rates after breast-conserving therapy (BCT) compared with older patients. However, it is uncertain whether specific clinical, pathologic, or treatment factors affect these results, or whether mastectomy yields a better outcome. METHODS: Articles addressing how patient age at the time of diagnosis affects treatment outcome were identified through the MEDLINE and CancerLit databases and the reference lists of relevant articles. RESULTS: Young age was found to remain an independent risk factor for worse outcome after either BCT or mastectomy. Limited evidence did not demonstrate a superior outcome with mastectomy compared with BCT. Recent studies of BCT still reported young age to be associated with higher local recurrence rates compared with that for older patients, but their interpretation was hampered by inadequate margin assessment for ductal carcinoma in situ. Adjuvant chemotherapy has been found to improve local control rates substantially for young patients after BCT. CONCLUSIONS: To the authors' knowledge, there are insufficient data to determine whether young patients have superior long-term outcome if treated by mastectomy compared with BCT, or whether having truly uninvolved margins abrogates their increased risk of local failure after BCT. When meticulous attention is given to surgical techniques and margin status, it appears that young age at the time of diagnosis need not be a contraindication to BCT. 相似文献

Higher local recurrence rates have been reported in young women with invasive carcinoma of the breast treated with breast‐conserving therapy (BCT). However, age itself may not be responsible for this increased risk of recurrence. To investigate this further, a computerized literature search of MEDLINE was performed using data from 1996 to May 2003. The research was limited to female patients with localized, invasive adenocarcinoma of the breast but also included patients of young age with ductal carcinoma in situ. Women of young age with breast cancer, treated with BCT are at an increased risk of recurrence ranging from 7.5 to 35%. However, the data would suggest that the increased risk is secondary to the association of young age with more aggressive tumours and a positive family history of breast cancer. Other factors that may explain the adverse prognosis in women of a young age include associated genetic abnormalities and the lack of mammographic screening programmes for women of young age. Young age is a risk factor for breast recurrence after BCT. However, management decisions should be based on tumour stage, grade and other related prognostic features rather than on young age alone. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To examine whether modified radical mastectomy (MRM) improves outcomes compared with breast-conserving treatment (BCT) in young women. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Women aged 20-49 years, diagnosed with early breast cancer between 1989 and 1998, were identified. Management with BCT or MRM was compared for local (L), locoregional (LR), and distant relapse-free survival (DRFS) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) by age group (20-39 years, 40-49 years). The analysis was repeated for patients considered "ideal" candidates for BCT: tumor size < or =2 cm, pathologically negative axillary nodes, negative margins, and no reported ductal carcinoma in situ. RESULTS: A total of 1,597 women received BCT, and 801 had MRM. After a median follow-up of 9.0 years, the outcomes (L, LR, BCSS) were worse for the younger age group; however, the outcomes were not statistically different by type of local treatment. For women aged 20-39 years considered "ideal" for BCT, those treated with BCT had slightly lower LRFS compared with those treated with MRM (p = 0.3), but DRFS and BCSS were similar. CONCLUSIONS: A difference in LRFS at 10 years potentially favored MRM among women aged 20-39 years considered "ideal" BCT candidates but was not statistically significant and did not translate into a noticeable difference in DRFS or BCSS. Our data suggest that young age alone is not a contraindication to BCT. 相似文献

Breast conservation treatment (BCT) for early-stage breast cancer is associated with survival rates comparable with mastectomy but has the risk of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence, including Paget's disease of the nipple. A small number of cases of Paget's disease presenting as local recurrence following BCT for breast cancer have been previously reported. Between 1977 and 2002, 2181 women with early-stage breast cancer were treated with BCT at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. In this cohort, there were 183 local treatment failures, 4 of which were cases of Paget's disease (2.2%), which are reported herein. These local recurrences developed 1.8, 3.8, 7.3, and 9.7 years after diagnosis of the patients' primary tumors. Three of the 4 primary cancers were invasive ductal carcinomas, with an associated intraductal component, and 1 was ductal carcinoma in situ. All 4 patients were successfully given salvage therapy consisting of mastectomy with or without tamoxifen, with follow-up times of 20.9, 10.6, 3.1, and 3.8 years. Paget's disease as local recurrence after BCT is uncommon and can be treated with salvage therapy if detected early. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to evaluate the importance of young age with regard to local control in a prospective cohort of 1085 women with pathological T1 tumours treated with breast conservative treatment (BCT). Patients were divided into two age groups: 40 years or younger, 7.8%, and older than 40 years, 92.2%. With a median follow-up of 71 months, the local recurrence rate was 10.6% in women < or =40 years, and 3.7% in older women. The local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) was significantly different for the two age groups, respectively 89%, < or =40 years, and 97.6%, >40 years (P=0.0046). A separate analysis showed a significantly decreased LRFS for young women with a positive family history, 75.4% versus 98.4% 5-year LRFS for older women. A worse LRFS for young women with a negative lymph node status was also observed, respectively 84% versus 98% 5-year LRFS (both P<0.001). In a multivariate analysis, taking into account the pre-treatment and treatment factors, age < or =40 years, was the only significant predictor of a decreased LRFS. Thus, young age is an important factor in relation to local control. In a subset analysis, this significant adverse effect of young age on outcome appears to be limited to the node-negative patients and those with a positive family history. To date, there is no evidence that young women with pT1 breast cancer, treated by mastectomy have an improved outcome when compared with those treated with conservative surgery and radiotherapy. Taking into account results from a subset analysis suggests that giving systemic therapy to a subgroup of women who are < or =40 years, node-negative and/or have a positive family history might give a better local control. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To identify the importance of positive margins for invasive carcinoma on local control in patients treated with breast-conservative treatment (BCT). METHODS AND MATERIALS: A total of 1752 BCT with known margins were analyzed. Fifty-five patients had a second BCT, leaving 1697 patients for analysis. The margins were positive in 193/1752 BCT (11%). The median follow-up was 78 months. RESULTS: The 5- and 10-year local recurrence rates (LRR) were 3.1% and 6.9%, respectively, for negative margins vs. 5.6% and 12.2% for positive margins. A statistical interaction between age category and margin status was noted in relation to disease-free survival (DFS) and local relapse-free survival. The 5-year LRR for women < or =40 years was 8.4% for negative margins and 36.9% for positive margins (p = 0.005). In a multivariate analysis, a positive margin was significant. The 5-year LRR for women >40 years was 2.6% for negative and 2.2% for positive margins. The 5-year DFS for women =40 years was 27.4% for positive and 74.5% for negative margins (p = 0.001). The 5-year DFS for women >40 years was 84.3% for positive and 87.2% for negative margins. CONCLUSION: Women < or =40 years are a special category of patients in breast cancer. Women < or =40 years must have negative margins for invasive carcinoma when treated with BCT. Minimum surgery for an optimal cosmetic result followed by irradiation, even with microscopic positive margins for invasive carcinoma, yields excellent results with regard to local control in patients older than 40 years. 相似文献

Breast-conserving therapy (BCT) is a proven local treatment option for select patients with early-stage breast cancer. This paper reviews pathologic, clinical, and treatment-related features that have been identified as known or potential predictors for ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence in patients treated with BCT. Pathologic risk factors such as the final pathologic margin status of the excised specimen after BCT, the extent of margin involvement, the interaction of margin status with other adverse features, the role of biomarkers, and the presence of an extensive intraductal component or lobular carcinoma in situ all impact the likelihood of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence. Predictors of positive repeat excision findings after conservative surgery include young age, presence of an extensive intraductal component, and close or positive margins in prior excision. Finally, treatment-related factors predicting ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence include extent of breast radiation therapy, use of a boost to the lumpectomy cavity, use of tamoxifen or chemotherapeutic agents, and timing of systemic therapy with irradiation. The ability to predict for an increased risk of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence enhances the ability to select optimal local treatment strategies for women considering BCT. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Patients with invasive breast cancer may develop a local recurrence (LR) after breast-conserving therapy (BCT). Younger age has been found to be an independent risk factor for LR. Within a group of premenopausal node-negative breast cancer patients, we studied risk factors for LR and the effect of perioperative chemotherapy (PeCT) on LR. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) conducted a randomized trial (EORTC 10854) to compare surgery followed by one course of PeCT (fluorouracil, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide) with surgery alone. From patients treated on this trial, we selected premenopausal patients with node-negative breast cancer who were treated with BCT to examine whether histologic characteristics and the expression of various proteins (estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, p53, Ki-67, bcl-2, CD31, c-erbB-2/neu) are risk factors for subsequent LR. Also, the effect of one course of PeCT on the LR risk (LRR) was studied. RESULTS: Using multivariate analysis, age younger than 43 years (relative risk [RR], 2.75; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.46 to 5.18; P =.002), multifocal growth (RR, 3.34; 95% CI, 1.27 to 8.77; P =.014), and elevated levels of p53 (RR, 2. 14; 95% CI, 1.13 to 4.05; P =.02) were associated with higher LRR. Also, PeCT was found to reduce LRR by more than 50% (RR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.25 to 0.86; P =.02). Patients younger than 43 years who received PeCT achieved similar LR rates as those of patients younger than 43 years who were treated with BCT alone. CONCLUSION: In premenopausal node-negative patients, age younger than 43 years is the most important risk factor for LR after BCT; this risk is greatly reduced by one course of PeCT. The main reason for administering systemic adjuvant treatment is to improve overall survival. The important reduction of LR after BCT is an additional reason for considering systemic treatment in young node-negative patients with breast cancer. 相似文献

Factors that influence surgical choices in women with breast carcinoma 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
BACKGROUND: In the absence of medical contraindications, survival after undergoing breast-conserving therapy (BCT), mastectomy (M), and mastectomy with immediate reconstruction (MIR) is equal. The authors studied demographic factors to identify the variables that differed significantly among women making different surgical choices. METHODS: Women with ductal carcinoma in situ or clinical Stage I or II breast carcinoma with no contraindications for BCT or MIR who were treated between 1995 and 1998 were identified from a prospectively collected data base. Demographic and tumor factors were compared using the Fisher exact test. RESULTS: There were 578 women with 586 tumors who did not have contraindications for BCT or MIR. Among this group, 85.2% of women chose BCT, 9.2% of women chose M, and 5.6% of women chose MIR. Women undergoing M alone were older and were more likely to have Stage II carcinoma compared with women undergoing BCT. Patients undergoing M or MIR were more likely to have had a prior breast biopsy compared with patients who chose BCT. Marital status and employment approached significance (P = 0.06); however, a family history of breast carcinoma was not a predictor of treatment choice. CONCLUSIONS: The current findings suggest a need for patient education strategies that emphasize the lack of influence of age and prior breast biopsy on the use of BCT. Differences in demographic variables may reflect true variations in patient preference among groups, emphasizing the need to address the spectrum of treatment options with patients. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Between 1979-1987, the National Cancer Institute conducted a randomized, prospective study of mastectomy (MT) versus breast conservation therapy (BCT) in the treatment of patients with early-stage breast carcinoma. After a median potential follow-up of 18.4 years, the authors present the updated results. METHODS: After informed consent was obtained from each patient, 237 evaluable women with clinical AJCC Stage I and Stage II breast carcinoma were enrolled on an institutionally reviewed protocol and randomly assigned to undergo modified radical MT (116 patients) or BCT (121 patients), which was comprised of lumpectomy, axillary lymph node dissection, and radiation therapy. Negative surgical margins in the lumpectomy arm were not required. The 237 randomized patients were followed for a median potential follow-up of 18.4 years. The primary endpoints were overall survival and disease-free survival. RESULTS: At a median follow-up of 18.4 years, there was no detectable difference with regard to overall survival between patients treated with MT and those treated with BCT (58% vs. 54%; P = 0.67 overall). Twenty-seven women in the BCT arm (22%) experienced an in-breast event. After censoring in-breast events in the BCT arm that were salvaged successfully by MT, disease-free survival also was found to be statistically similar (67% in the MT arm vs. 63% in the BCT arm; P = 0.64 overall). There was no statistically significant difference with regard to contralateral breast carcinoma between the two treatment arms (P = 0.70). CONCLUSIONS: After nearly 20 years of follow-up, there was no detectable difference in overall survival or disease-free survival in patients with early-stage breast carcinoma who were treated with MT compared with those treated with BCT. For BCT patients, long-term in-breast failures continued to occur throughout the duration of follow-up. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of contralateral breast carcinoma between the two treatment groups. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: We retrospectively reviewed our institution's experience treating early-stage breast cancer patients with breast conserving therapy (BCT) to determine clinical, pathologic, mammographic, and treatment-related factors associated with outcome. METHODS: Between January 1980 and December 1987, 400 cases of Stage I and II breast cancer were managed with BCT at William Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, Michigan. All patients underwent at least an excisional biopsy. Radiation treatment consisted of delivering 45-50 Gy to the whole breast, followed by a boost to the tumor bed to at least 60 Gy in all patients. The median follow-up in the 292 surviving patients is 118 months. Multiple clinical, pathologic, mammographic, and treatment-related factors were analyzed for an association with local recurrence and survival. RESULTS: A total of 37 local recurrences developed in the treated breast, for a 5- and 10-year actuarial rate of 4% and 10%, respectively. On univariate analysis, patient age < or =35 years (25% vs. 7%, p = 0.004), and positive surgical margins (17% vs. 6%, p = 0.018) were associated with an increased risk of local recurrence at 10 years. On multivariate analysis, only age < or = 35 years remained significant. A subset analysis of 214 patients with evaluable mammographic findings was performed. On univariate analysis, age < or = 35 years (38% vs. 8%, p = 0.0029) and the presence of calcifications on preoperative mammography (22% vs. 6%, p = 0.0016) were associated with an increased risk of local recurrence. On multivariate analysis, both of these factors remained significant. The presence of calcifications on preoperative mammography did not affect the rates of overall survival, disease-free survival, and cause-specific survival. CONCLUSION: In patients with early-stage breast cancer treated with BCT, age < or = 35 years and calcifications on preoperative mammography appear to be associated with an increased risk of local recurrence. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: African-American (AA) and white patients with early-stage disease who were treated with breast conservation therapy (BCT) were examined to detect differences in clinicopathologic features and outcomes as a function of race. METHODS: Clinical data from the charts of 2164 white and 207 AA patients treated with BCT, and p53 expression status on 444 patients (from an existing tissue database), were analyzed to detect differences between the 2 cohorts. RESULTS: The median follow-up was 7 years. There were no differences in the method of tumor detection, lymph nodes excised, surgical margin status, or chemotherapy/radiotherapy delivered, reflecting similar screening and treatment policies for AA women in the study community. Despite this, AA patient presented at a younger age, with higher T and N classifications, and more estrogen and progesterone negative and "triple negative" tumors (all P values < .016). Tumors in AA patients were p53 positive more often than tumors in white patients (P= .0003). At 10 years, AA patients had a higher rate of distant metastasis (20% vs 17%; P= .042), lymph node recurrence (6% vs 2%; P= .004), and breast recurrence (17% vs 13%; P= .036). There was no difference in overall survival between the 2 groups. On multivariate analysis, only lymph node recurrence (risk ratio of 3.140; 95% confidence interval, 1.396-7.063 [P= .0057]) remained significantly higher among AA women. CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort of uniformly treated patients, the authors found the expected clinicopathologic differences, but race was not found to be an independent predictor of local recurrence for AA patients when other confounding variables were taken into account in the multivariate model. These findings suggest that BCT is a reasonable option for appropriately selected AA patients. To the authors' knowledge, this is the largest study addressing outcomes after BCT for AA women published to date. 相似文献

Background Young women have worse outcome following breast-conserving therapy (BCT) than do older patients in many studies. We examined
how clinical, pathological, and treatment factors affect these results.
Methods Between 1993 and 1999, 130 patients age 40 years or younger with stage I or II breast cancer were treated with BCT. The median
radiation dose to the tumor bed was 61 Gy; 80% of patients received chemotherapy; and 29% of 72 patients with estrogen-receptor
positive tumors received tamoxifen. Median follow-up was 93 months.
Results Fifteen patients (12%) developed an ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR), with or without other simultaneous failure
sites. The Kaplan-Meier 5- and 8-year actuarial rates were 8% and 14%, respectively. The 74 patients with grade 3 tumors had
a higher IBTR rate (8-year actuarial rate, 18%) than the 54 patients with grade 1–2 lesions (7%) (P = 0.09). Six patients developed contralateral breast cancers, and 17 developed distant metastases (DM). The 8-year actuarial
rates for freedom-from-DM, relapse-free survival, and overall survival were 85%, 72% and 96%, respectively.
Conclusion This represents one of the largest series of young women treated with BCT, using an approach similar to current practice.
The IBTR rate was substantially lower than in many past studies, but still higher than would be expected for older women.
This appeared largely due to the increased rate of IBTR in patients with grade 3 tumors. If this observation is confirmed,
further analysis of this subgroup may lead to ways of reducing the risk of IBTR. 相似文献

Risk factors for local recurrence in breast cancer after breast conserving therapy (BCT) differ from those for local recurrence after mastectomy. To better guide optimal treatment of individual patients, it is desirable to identify patients at high risk for local recurrence. Several clinical and histopathologic factors, such as young age and presence of ductal carcinoma in situ, are known to be predictors for local recurrence after BCT. After mastectomy, lymph node status and tumor size are dominant risk factors for local recurrence. The results of recent expression profiling studies have explained differences in prognosis and risk for local recurrence and also explained response to different therapies (adjuvant systemic therapy and radiotherapy). Because of the variation in different subtypes of breast cancer and the difference in amount of tumor burden remaining after surgery, finding robust predictive profiles is complex. In this review, we describe the predictive and prognostic factors for local recurrence after mastectomy and BCT and also describe the role of radiosensitivity in local recurrence. 相似文献

Ipsilateral breast tumour recurrence in hereditary breast cancer following breast-conserving therapy
Seynaeve C Verhoog LC van de Bosch LM van Geel AN Menke-Pluymers M Meijers-Heijboer EJ van den Ouweland AM Wagner A Creutzberg CL Niermeijer MF Klijn JG Brekelmans CT 《European journal of cancer (Oxford, England : 1990)》2004,40(8):1150-1158
The overall rate of an ipsilateral breast tumour recurrence (IBTR) after breast-conserving therapy (BCT) ranges from 1% to 2% per year. Risk factors include young age but data on the impact of BRCA1/2 mutations or a definite positive family history for breast cancer are scarce. We investigated IBTR after BCT in patients with hereditary breast cancer (HBC). Through our family cancer clinic we identified 87 HBC patients, including 26 BRCA1/2 carriers, who underwent BCT between 1980 and 1995 (cases). They were compared to 174 patients with sporadic breast cancer (controls) also treated with BCT, matched for age and year of diagnosis. Median follow up was 6.1 years for the cases and 6.0 years for controls. Patient and tumour characteristics were similar in both groups. An IBTR was observed in 19 (21.8%) hereditary and 21 (12.1%) sporadic patients. In the hereditary patients more recurrences occurred elsewhere in the breast (21% versus 9.5%), suggestive of new primaries. Overall, the actuarial IBTR rate was similar at 2 years, but higher in hereditary as compared to sporadic patients at 5 years (14% versus 7%) and at 10 years (30% versus 16%) (P=0.05). Post-relapse and overall survival was not different between hereditary and sporadic cases. Hereditary breast cancer was therefore associated with a higher frequency of early (2-5 years) and late (>5 years) local recurrences following BCT. These data suggest an indication for long-term follow up in HBC and should be taken into account when additional 'risk-reducing' surgery after primary BCT is eventually considered. 相似文献

The relationship of age with prognostic factors and outcome of breast cancer has long been controversial due to numerous confounding factors. In order to clarify the prognostic value of age, we analyzed a homogeneous population of 1,266 patients treated for breast cancer at the same institution (mean follow-up: 62 months). Three groups were compared: patients under 35 years of age, non-menopausal patients over 35 years of age, and post-menopausal patients under the age of 70 years. A higher frequency of undifferentiated tumors, histoprognostic grade-3 cancer, microscopic lymph-node involvement and negative hormonal receptor status was observed in patients under 35 years. In addition, clinical but not anatomical tumor size was greater in young patients, suggesting higher stromal activity. Metastasis-free survival and overall survival were significantly poorer before 35 years. Differences were observed when patients were matched with regard to stage, anatomic size, histoprognostic grade, microscopic lymph-node involvement and receptor status. Multivariate analysis of both overall and metastasis-free survival demonstrated that age younger than 35 years was an independent risk factor. Younger women had a higher risk of local recurrence but, unlike older women, they did not experience any worsening of the already unfavorable outcome due to recurrence. © 7995 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The objectives of this study were to study the probability of local control after breast-conserving therapy (BCT) in a large population of patients with early-stage breast cancer aged < or = 40 years and to determine which factors had prognostic value. METHODS: All patients (n = 758) aged < or = 40 years with clinical stage I or II breast cancer who underwent BCT in general hospitals in the southern part of the Netherlands between 1988 and 2002 were selected for the current analysis. BCT included local excision of the tumor followed by irradiation of the breast. Of 758 patients, 329 patients (43%) received adjuvant systemic treatment, and 36 patients (5%) underwent a microscopically incomplete excision. The median follow-up was 8.5 years. RESULTS: During follow-up, 95 patients developed a local recurrence without evidence of distant disease at the time the recurrence was diagnosed. Contralateral breast cancer was diagnosed in 59 patients. The 5- and 10-year actuarial local recurrence rates were 9.0% (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 6.6-11.4%) and 17.9% (95% CI, 14.1-21.7%), respectively. In a multivariate analysis, adjuvant systemic treatment reduced the risk of local recurrence (hazards ratio [HR], 0.47; 95% CI, 0.28-0.78) and contralateral breast cancer (HR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.24-0.87) by >50%. CONCLUSIONS: The risk of local recurrence in young patients who underwent BCT was reduced strongly by using adjuvant systemic treatment. This finding may provide an argument if favor of advising the use of systemic treatment for all patients aged < or = 40 years who undergo BCT. 相似文献

PURPOSE: We reviewed our institution's experience treating patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast to determine risk factors for ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) and cause-specific survival (CSS) after breast-conserving therapy (BCT) or mastectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 1981 and 1999, 410 cases of DCIS (405 patients) were treated at our institution; 367 were managed with breast-conserving surgery (54 with lumpectomy alone and 313 with adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) [median dose, 45 Gy]). Of these 313 patients, 298 received also a supplemental boost of RT to the lumpectomy cavity (median dose, 16 Gy). Forty-three patients underwent mastectomy; 2 (5%) received adjuvant RT to the chest wall. A true recurrence/marginal miss (TR/MM) IBTR was defined as failure within or adjacent to the tumor bed in patients undergoing BCT. Median follow-up for all patients was 7 years (mean: 6.1 years). RESULTS: Thirty patients (8.2%) experienced an IBTR after BCT (25 [8%] after RT, 5 [9.3%] after no RT), and 2 patients (4.7%) developed a chest wall recurrence after mastectomy. Of the 32 local failures, 20 (63%) were invasive (18/30 [60%] after BCT and 2/2 [100%] after mastectomy), and 37% were DCIS alone. Twenty-four (80%) of the IBTRs were classified as TR/MM. The 10-year freedom from local failure, CSS, and overall survival after BCT or mastectomy were 89% vs. 90% (p = 0.4), 98% vs. 100% (p = 0.7), and 89% vs. 100% (p = 0.3), respectively. Factors associated with IBTR on Cox multivariate analysis were younger age (p = 0.02, hazard ratio [HR] 1.06 per year), electron boost energy < or = 9 MeV (p = 0.03, HR 1.41), final margins < or = 2 mm (p = 0.007; HR, 3.65), and no breast radiation (p = 0.002, HR 5.56). On Cox univariate analysis for BCT patients, IBTR, TR/MM failures, and predominant nuclear Grade 3 were associated with an increased risk of distant metastases and a reduced CSS. CONCLUSIONS: After treatment for DCIS, 10-year rates of local control, CSS, and overall survival were similar after mastectomy and BCT. Young age (<45 years), close/positive margins (< or = 2 mm), no breast radiation, and lower electron boost energies (< or = 9 MeV) were associated with IBTR. Local failure and predominant nuclear Grade 3 were found to have a small (4%-12%) but statistically significantly negative impact on the rates of distant metastasis and CSS. These results suggest that optimizing local therapy (surgery and radiation) is crucial to improve local control and CSS in patients treated with DCIS. 相似文献

Childbearing and survival after breast carcinoma in young women 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
BACKGROUND: Many young patients with breast carcinoma have not started, or completed, their desired families. How childbearing after a diagnosis of breast carcinoma affects survival is of importance to these women and their families. The authors measured relative mortality among young patients with breast carcinoma with and without births occurring after diagnosis. METHODS: The authors conducted a cohort study using data from three population-based cancer registries in the U.S. (Seattle, Detroit, and Los Angeles), linked to birth certificate data in each state. Four hundred thirty-eight women younger than 45 years of age with primary invasive breast carcinoma were identified as having births after diagnosis. In addition, 2775 comparison women, matched on the basis of age at the time of diagnosis, race/ethnicity, diagnosis year, disease stage, and presence of previous nonbreast primary tumors, were identified among those with breast carcinoma without births after diagnosis. Relative mortality was assessed using multivariable statistical methods. RESULTS: After adjustment for stage of disease, age at diagnosis, study region, diagnosis year, and race/ethnicity, women with births occurring 10 months or more after diagnosis had a significantly decreased risk of dying (relative Risk [RR] = 0.54, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.41-0.71) compared to women without subsequent births. Women pregnant at the time of diagnosis had a mortality rate similar to those who did not give birth (RR = 1.10, 95% CI, 0.80-1.60). CONCLUSIONS: The results of the current study, in light of growing evidence from other studies using various methods, may provide some reassurance to young women with breast carcinoma that subsequent childbearing is unlikely to increase their risk of mortality. 相似文献
