[Prognosis of breast cancer patients with large-fetus birth weights in their history].
Under study were the data on a 5-year survival in a group of 154 breast cancer patients (treated in 1970-1971) which were evaluated versus the weight of their infants. A worse prognosis was registered in patients with high-weight births (4 kg and more) in their case histories. Such correlation was observed only in patients aged 50 years and more ("old-age cancer") and in patients with stage III of the disease. A probable combination of hormonal-metabolic disturbances which influence the etiopathogenesis and prognosis of some neoplasms and the advisability of timely correction of such disturbances for prevention of malignant tumors and improvement of treatment of cancer patients are discussed.
