Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Breast Cancer Research

Background:

  • Optimal management strategies for axillary recurrence in breast cancer remain unclear.
  • Axillary recurrence significantly impacts patient survival and requires further investigation into prognostic factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and evaluate risk factors associated with overall survival in patients diagnosed with breast cancer axillary recurrence.
  • To analyze the prognostic significance of various clinical and treatment-related factors on survival outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 1098 breast cancer patients treated with modified radical mastectomy between 1990-1995.
  • Identification of 43 patients (3.92%) with diagnosed axillary recurrence.
  • Application of Cox multivariate analysis and Log-rank analysis to assess prognostic factors and survival differences.

Main Results:

  • Node status (HR 4.69), tumor size (HR 3.18), and axillary radiotherapy (HR 1.99) were significant predictors of breast cancer mortality.
  • Log-rank analysis revealed significant differences in overall survival based on cancer stage in patients with axillary recurrence.
  • Tumor size and lymph node status emerged as the most critical prognostic factors for survival in this cohort.

Conclusions:

  • Tumor size and lymph node status are paramount prognostic indicators for breast cancer patients with axillary recurrence.
  • Further research into tailored management based on these prognostic factors may improve survival outcomes.
