Introduccion.- Breast cancer in women under 35 years becomes a particular challenge because they are biologically more aggressive tumors and are associated with more adverse prognostic factors compared to the disease in older patients. Most tumors are poorly differentiated (higher risk), high proportion of vascular invasion and higherproliferation Material and Methods.- We conducted a descriptive study aimed to characterize this group of patients, women younger than 35 years old were studied, and they were enrolled in the INOR diagnosed with breast cancer in the period 1996 - 2000. Prognostic factors were analyzed and related to relapse. Results.- Most patients were nulliparous (56.1%) 40.4% of patients relapse, nodal status and tumor size influenced relapse, infiltring ductal carcinoma was the most frequenty variety. The overall suvival was 84.6 and 73.1 at 3 and 5 years respectively. Conclusions.- Breast cancer in young women has incresed in recent years. Patients wiht larger tumors and positive lymph nodes had more relapse infiltrating ductal carcinoma was the most frequent histological subtype, although the mucinouns carcinoma had the highest number of relapses.
Key words .- Breast cancer, women under 35 years old, tratment, survival. |
