Association of Independent Prognostic Factors and Treatment Modality With Survival and Recurrence Outcomes in Breast Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

It is not well understood whether prognostic factors in breast cancer are affected by specific treatment and vary by clinical outcome type compared with untreated patients.

Objective

To identify independent clinical and molecular measurements associated with overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) by homogeneous treatment in women with breast cancer.

Design, setting, and participants

This prognostic study included 956 patients diagnosed with invasive breast cancer from hospital centers across 4 geographical regions of the United States who participated in the accreditation program of the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons from 1985 to 1997. The duration of follow-up ranged from 1 to 282 months. The study analysis was c
