Patient age and positive margins are predictive factors of residual tumor on mastectomy specimen after conservative treatment for breast cancer

Abstract: Young age of patients (under 45-years-old) and presence of positive margins on the operative specimen are independent risk factors of residual tumor after conservative treatment of breast cancer.

“…19 Young age, Residual Disease After Wide Local Excision often defined as < 40 years, has also been cited as a risk factor for positive margins and residual disease. 12, 15 We did not observe such an association, although the effect of age might not have been reliably evaluated because only 50 of the 720 women (7%) in our study were < 40 years old. In addition, compared with most Western countries, many more women in Singapore, even those in the younger age groups, will choose mastectomy instead of breastconserving therapy (unpublished data).…”

“…Ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence increases by at least twofold when the surgical margins are involved by tumor. 5,13,14 Positive margins signify a significant possibility of residual disease around the resection bed, 15 which can persist despite adjuvant treatment, because radiation and systemic treatment have failed to negate the greater local failure rates. 16,17 As a corollary of this, reoperation has been recommended whenever the initial resection has been deemed inadequate.…”

“…Breast cancer patients with the same clinical prognostic profile may have markedly different outcomes, which are concrete manifestations of distinct molecular biology behavior [ 21 ]. Traditional clinicopathological parameters including positive margin, vascular tumor invasion, histological grade, lymph node staging and tumor size have been verified as independent risk factors for recurrence [ 22 27 ]. NPI combines the number of involved lymph nodes, tumor size and histological grade to determine prognosis, it is a well-established clinicopathological score system which offers comprehensive prognostic information than single marker [ 28 , 29 ].…”

“…Rational analysis of pathological characteristics is useful for judging the prognosis of patients with breast cancer. Traditional pathological markers including node staging, 2 3 positive margin, 4 5 vascular tumour invasion, 6 differentiation grade 3 7 and lymph vessel tumour embolus grade 3 8 have been verified as independent risk factors for the recurrence and prognosis. Oestrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) have been included in routine pathological practice, and are used to predict the patients’ course of disease and response to adjuvant hormonal therapy.…”
