ABSTRACT
The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the results and identify prognostic factors in early breast cancer. One hundred breast cancers, 79 stage I and 21 stage II, had a conservative treatment between September 1993 and February 1996. Median age was 57 years; median tumor size 15 mm. Pathology was infiltrating ductal carcinoma in 88%. All patients underwent a conservative surgery followed by external radiotherapy. Twenty-eight patients received adjuvant chemotherapy and 64 patients received hormonal therapy. The median follow-up was 100 months. The 10 years overall survival rate was 85% and the metastasis free survival rate was 88.5%. The 10 years local control rate was 85.7%. Women less than 45 years old had a worse prognosis. These high rates of survival and local control confirm that breast conservation therapy yields favorable results, and that age is a major risk factor in women with early breast cancer
