[Cox proportion hazard model multivariate analysis of prognosis of 1,484 axillary node-negative breast cancer
Objective:
To study the prognosis of axillary node-negative breast cancer patients.
Methods:
The data were analyzed in 1,484 consecutive axillary node-negative breast cancer patients. Twenty-two individual variables were evaluated statistically using the cumulative survival rate by the computer's Cox multivariate analysis model.
Results:
Menopausal status, times of pregnancy, duration before diagnosis, pregnancy-associated, tumor size, intramammary lymph node, postoperative radiotherapy and postoperative adjuvant tamoxifen therapy were independent predictors of prognosis.
Conclusion:
Parts of high risk group among axillary node-negative breast cancer patients could be identified by clinical parameters. Postoperative radiotherapy or ovarian ablation was not indicated for axillary node-negative breast cancer patients. Tamoxifen as postoperative adjuvant therapy should not be restricted to postmenopausal or ER-positive patients. The selection of high risk patients with axillary node-negative breast cancer who should receive adjuvant chemotherapy remains to be investigated at present.
