Prognostic factors and survival of breast cancer in patients over 40 years of age
Abstract
Aims: Breast cancer is the cancer with the highest incidence and mortality in women. There are differences in prognosis and survival between women over and under the age of 40. In this article, we aimed to examine breast cancer prognostic factors and survival results in people over the age of 40.
Methods: 1187 patients aged 40 and over who underwent surgery at the Ondokuz Mayıs University Department of General Surgery between August 2005 and April 2019 and whose data were accessible were retrospectively examined. Data were obtained from the hospital automation system, the Ministry of Health’s online database, hospital archives, patients, and/or their relatives. They were classified separately in terms of type of surgery, axillary metastasis status (according to radiological status if axilla surgery is not performed), type of axilla surgery performed, pathological tumor size, number of pathological lymph nodes, pathological stage, lymphovascular and perineural invasion status, hormone receptor positivity, C-erb B2 and Ki-67 status, neoadjuvant treatment status, and molecular subgroup. Variables were analyzed individually for recurrence, mortality, and survival. Results found to be significant were subjected to multivariate analysis testing. Statistical significance was accepted as p<0.05.
Results: As a result of multivariate analysis performed by excluding data that disrupted homogeneous distribution, perineural invasion, lymphovascular invasion, grade, and progesterone receptor status were determined to be independent prognostic factors in terms of recurrence. Lymphovascular invasion and progesterone receptor status were found to be independent prognostic factors for mortality.
Conclusion: A lot of studies have been conducted, and criteria have been determined for breast cancer prognosis and survival. In our results, lymphovascular invasion and progesterone receptor status were found to be independent prognostic markers for both recurrence and mortality. More reliable results can be obtained with prospective study analyses.
