Abstract:

Objective To analyze the clinical pathologic characteristics, treatment and prognosis of 476 breast cancer patients, and to explore the related factors influencing the prognosis of breast cancer. Methods 476 breast cancer patients received postoperative adjuvant therapy were followed up who were diagnosed as the pathologic stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ from 2007 to 2010.The median follow-up time was 50.5 months.Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve, and Log-rank test was used to compare the survival rates;COX proportional hazards model was used to analyze single factors and multiple factors.The risk factors related to the prognosis of breast cancer were analyzed. Results The 3-year disease free survival rate of the patients was 94.3%.The single factor analysis showed that age, tumor size, the number of metastatic lymph nodes, vascular tumor emboli, hormone receptor status, HER-2 expression and molecular subtypes were the influencing factors of disease free survival(DFS) (P<0.05).The smaller age, the larger neoplasm, the more metastatic lymph nodes, the more vascular tumor emboli, the lower positive rate of hormone receptor, the over-expression of HER-2, the molecular subtypes of HER-2 over-expression and the basal-like subtype had poor prognosis among them.The multifactor analysis demonstrated that hormone receptor status and HER-2 expression were independent factors influencing DFS (P<0.05).The 3-year overall rate of the patients was 97.6%.The single factor analysis showed that the tumor size, the number of metastatic lymph nodes, vascular tumor emboli, hormone receptor status and HER-2 expression were the influencing factors of overall survival (OS)(P<0.05).The multiple factor analysis demonstrated the number of metastatic lymph node, hormone receptor status and HER-2 expression were independent factors of OS (P<0.05). Conclusion The number of metastatic lymph nodes, hormone receptor status and HER-2 expression are significantly independent indicators of prognosis in the patients with breast cancer respectively.
