Abstract：
OBJECTIVE:To analyze age as a prognostic factor in early breast cancer. METHODS:Retrospective study analyzing the clinical profile and disease-free survival in a group of 280 subjects aged 25 to 81 years with stage I and II breast cancer followed-up in Porto Alegre, southern Brazil, from 1995 to 2000. Clinical, pathological, treatment and outcome data were obtained from medical records. Subjects were divided into two groups according to age at diagnosis (< or = 40 years and > 40 years). The two groups were compared for clinical stage, histology, hormone receptor expression, therapy and radiotherapy using the chi-square and/or Fisher's exact test and for analysis of survival the Kaplan-Meier method with a long-rank test. RESULTS:Of 280 women studied, 54 (19.3%) were younger than 40 years. Both groups were similar regarding clinical stage, histology, and hormone receptor expression. The proportion of subjects with disease-free survival in the 56-month follow-up was significantly higher in those over 40 years (84% versus 70%). Proportionally, younger subjects received more adjuvant therapy (88.8% vs. 77.8%). Those women over 40 years were significantly more likely to remain disease-free (84%), and this difference was more remarkable when they were compared to those over 40 years at stage I breast cancer. CONCLUSIONS:The study findings confirm that women younger than 40 years with early breast cancer have a poorer prognosis. However, this prognosis does not seem to be related to increased number of hormone receptor-negative cases. Younger patients who remained disease-free received more adjuvant therapy, suggesting a positive effect of chemotherapy and endocrine therapy.
