ABSTRACT
This prospective study included 204 breast cancer cases with PT2 primary tumors out of 802 breast cancer cases who attended at NEMROCK over 3-year period [1993-1995]. Patients with PT2 tumors did not receive chest wall irradiation after radical or modified radical mastectomy irrespective of any risk factor according to breast unit protocol adopted in NEMROCK. The overall recurrence rate was 10.29%, a multivariate analysis was done to identify the significant predictors influencing chest wall recurrence concluded that +ve axillary lymph nodes, high tumors grade and inner quadrant site in age <35 years are significant predictors of chest wall recurrence in patients with PT2 breast cancer cases that require postoperative chest wall irradiation according to this study
