ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the clinicaopathological features and treatment of bilateral asynchronous breast cancer.Methods The clinical and pathological data of 13 patients with bilateral asynchronous breast cancer admitted in our hospital from 2010 to 2016 ere retrospectively reviewed.Results The bilateral asynchronous breast cancer accounted for 1.7% of all breast cancer patients admitted n the same period (13/782).The median age of patients at first onset was 47.The modified radical operation was the main surgical lity (12/13 for the first cancer;8/13 for the second cancer).The clinical stage Ⅱ was predominant in all patients (10/13 of the first r;9/13 of the second cancer).Invasive ductal cancer was the most common pathologic type (in 11/13 of the first cancer;11/13 of the cond cancer).Hormone receptors were highly expressed in most of the cases (9/13 of the first cancer;7/13 of the second cancer).The disease-free interval was more than 10 years in most cases (8/13).Among 13 cases local recurrence was detected in 1 case, distant metastases in 2 cases, and 1 case died from distant metastasis.Conclusion The bilateral asynchronous breast cancer has a low incidence;however, a close follow up is necessary for early detection and treatment of the second carcinoma.
