Breast cancer in women under 35 years of age. 1991

A review was undertaken of 226 patients with primary breast carcinoma who were 35 years of age, or younger, from 1960 to 1987. Comparisons to other studies of young and older women were made for clinical, pathologic, and survival characteristics. Young patients with breast cancer share many of the same disease characteristics of tumor type, location, size, and nodal involvement as their older counterparts. Five- and 10-year survival rates were comparable for patients with stage I or stage II disease and negative axillary lymph nodes. However, patients with stage II disease and positive nodes appear to have a decreased survival compared with older patients.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D016019 Survival Analysis A class of statistical procedures for estimating the survival function (function of time, starting with a population 100% well at a given time and providing the percentage of the population still well at later times). The survival analysis is then used for making inferences about the effects of treatments, prognostic factors, exposures, and other covariates on the function.
