Lokális recidíva fiatal (<or = 40 év) emlorákos betegeknél emlomegtartó mutét vagy mastectomia után: 15 éves eredmények.

Purpose Data from various sources indicate that after breast conserving surgery (BCS), younger patients have a high risk of local relapse, but there is insufficient evidence about the risk of post-mastectomy local recurrence. This study investigates the risk of local recurrence for young ( Methods 148 young ( Results At a median follow-up time of 199 months 60 (40.5%) women died of breast cancer. The type of surgery (mastectomy vs. wide tumour excision) had no significant impact on breast cancer-specific survival. The crude rate of local relapse for nonirradiated mastectomy and BCS patients was 24% and 75% (p = 0.0041), and for irradiated patients 4% and 23%, respectively (p = 0.0091). After mastectomy in univariate analysis nodal status (negative vs. positive) and RT (no vs. yes) were significant predictors of local control, but tumour size (T1 vs. T2) and histological grade (1-2 vs. 3) were not. In multivariate analysis both nodal involvement and omission of RT remained independent significant negative predictors of local control. After BCS in univariate analysis extensive intraductal component (EIC, negative vs. positive) and RT (no vs. yes) were significant predictors of local control, but tumour size (T1 vs. T2), nodal status (N0 vs. N1) and histological grade (1-2 vs. 3) were not. In multivariate analysis omission of RT and presence of EIC remained independent significant negative predictors of local control. The 15-year actuarial rate of local relapse was 29% for irradiated, and 75% for nonirradiated BCS patients (RR, 0.21; 95% CI, 0.07-0.55; p = 0.0052). The 15-year actuarial rate of local recurrence was 6% for irradiated, and 46% for nonirradiated node-positive mastectomy patients (RR, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.06-0.96; p = 0.0095). Conclusion The incidence of local recurrence is high for young patients treated either with BCS or mastectomy, and RT significantly reduces the risk. The use of postmastectomy RT in node-positive patients gives a good local control. The efficacy of BCS and RT as a treatment modality for young patients needs further investigations.
