[Influence of prognostic factors on the risk of recurrence in breast cancer patients after radical treatment].
The analysis includes 730 consecutive breast cancer patients operated radically. The impact on local and distant recurrences as well as the probability of 5-year disease free survival according to age, hormonal status, primary tumor and axillary nodes stage, number of involved nodes, presence of extracapsular invasion and histopathological grade was assessed. Results of this analysis showed the stage of axillary lymph nodes as the most important prognostic factor for the estimation of the risk of failure. It was also revealed that well-known, classic factors are often insufficient to determine appropriate prognosis.
