[Cancer of the breast. II. Prognostic factors (our experience)].
Data concerning different prognostic factors based upon results observed in a group of 212 women operated fro breast carcinoma and submitted to follow-up for 5 consecutive years from diagnosis are reported. Comparing this experience with other Italian and international series, it is concluded that the most reliable prognostic factors are the tumour's size and lymph-node status, while less incisive, though relevant, are the site of the tumour, invasiveness, the grade, the labeling index, hormonal receptor status, the levels of Ca 15.3 and of CEA and the age of the woman at diagnosis.
