ABSTRACT
Purpose:
To study the determining prognostic factors that affect the survival of patients with bilateral breast cancer.Methods:
The records of 21 women with bilateral breast cancer were analyzed.4(19%) presented simultaneous bilateral tumor.17(81%)developed bilateral breast cancer with interval in between. Patients were treated with surgery, radiation treatment and chemotherapy. Analysis of high risk factors of breast cancer and possible relation to postoperative survival was carried out.Results:
The size of the tumor, the number of involved axillary nodes, and the adequacy of the initial treatment still remain the major prognostic factors ,correlated with the time interval between two cancers. 2 year, 5 year, 10 year, survival was recorded to be 90%, 71.4%, 66.7%.Conclusions:
If treatment is correct for bilateral breast cancers, its 5 year survival rate still rather high. Time interval between two breast cancers was the most prominent prognostic factor, correlated with the overall survival. The early diagnosis and prompt adequate treatment of the seconed primary breast cancer are still the key to longer survival rates of bilateral breast cancer.
