Survival outcomes of breast cancer patients with recurrence after surgery according to period and subtype.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To analyze and compare the survival rates of recurrent breast cancer patients in Korea between two periods (period I: 2000-2007; period II: 2008-2013) and to identify the factors associated with outcomes and changes over time in the duration of survival after recurrence.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 2,407 patients who had recurrent breast cancer with treated between January 2000 and December 2013 and divided them into two periods according to the year of recurrence. We reviewed the age at diagnosis, clinical manifestations, pathology report, surgical methods, types of adjuvant treatment, type of recurrence, and follow-up period.

The median follow-up was 30.6 months (range, 0-223.4) from the time of relapse, and the median survival time was 42.3
