Summary
This review of Paget's disease found that early-stage intraepidermal lesions have a 100% survival rate, while advanced stages with metastasis have a poor prognosis. Treatment varied by stage, with surgery for early stages and chemotherapy for advanced disease.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Oncology
Context:
- Paget's disease of the breast and nipple is a rare malignancy.
- This study reviews genital and perianal Paget's disease cases over 30 years.
Purpose:
- To analyze clinical characteristics, staging, treatment, and prognosis of genital and perianal Paget's disease.
- To establish a staging system and evaluate treatment outcomes.
Summary:
- A review of 72 cases (68 genital, 4 perianal) of Paget's disease, predominantly affecting males (2.8:1 ratio) aged 51-86.
- A four-stage classification system was used, correlating with treatment and prognosis.
- Stage I/II: wide local excision, skin graft; Stage III: radical node dissection added; Stage IV: immunochemotherapy.
Impact:
- Early-stage Paget's disease (Stage I) shows a 100% 5-year survival rate.
- Advanced stages (II-III) have reduced survival rates.
- Stage IV disease has a 0% 3-year survival rate, highlighting the importance of early detection and treatment.
