ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The aim of this study is to determine prognostic factors of breast cancer in Korean patients who underwent curative mastectomy.METHODS:
Medical records of 181 patients who underwent curative mastectomy were reviewed. Relapse-free survival and overall survival were documented for each patient. Factors influencing survival were analyzed using Cox proportional hazard model.RESULTS:
Overall 5-year survival rate was 82.0%, and 8-year survival rate was 74.7%. Multivariate analysis indicated that multiple axillary lymph node involvement (> or =4), postmenopausal status, and negative estrogen receptor were independent adverse prognostic factors. The adjusted relative risks of multiple axillary lymph node involvement (> or =4), postmenopausal status, and negative estrogen receptor were estimated 2.60 (95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.28-5.30), 2.64 (95% CI 1.46-4.79), and 2.27 (95% CI 1.19-4.35), respectively.CONCLUSION:
Multiple axillary lymph node involvement (> or =4), postmenopausal status, and negative estrogen receptor were independent adverse prognostic factors in Korean breast cancer patients after curative mastectomy.
