title: [Prognostic significance of hypereosinophilia in surgically treated breast carcinoma. Our experience].
abstract: Several Authors have published that hypereosinophilia is often related to solid carcinoma and mostly to mucin secreting epithelium carcinoma. Such hypereosinophilia has been considered a negative prognostic symptom. In this trial we have studied our out-patients affected by breast cancer who showed hypereosinophilia during their post-surgical follow-up or therapy. Such hypereosinophilia was not related to any symptom of progression of neoplasia. We thus suppose that hypereosinophilia associated with breast cancer is probably not related to the development of neoplastic tissue.
