Abstract:
PURPOSE: The prognosis of breast cancer in very young women is generally considered to be unfavorable. In addition, younger patients (<35 years) with estrogen- receptor (ER) positive tumor had shown a significantly worse disease- free survival than younger patients with ER negative tumors. To confirm the prognostic effects of ER on the survival in very young Korean women with early breast cancer, we performed a retrospective study with survival analyses according to the expression of hormonal receptors. METHODS: Total 74 very young women with early breast cancer (invasive ductal carcinoma, NOS, < or=35 years, and stage
