116P Is young age an independent adverse prognostic factor in carcinoma breast? A single institute retrospective comparative study from South India

Abstract

The incidence of breast cancer is as low as 0.50% in females younger than 40 years old. Young age in patients with breast cancers is thought to be associated with poor prognosis, but the reason is not well defined. Adverse pathological features like more TNBC and Her2 positivity as well as a lack of reliable screening methods in young women leads to the poor prognosis in this group of patients. This study aimed to analyse the prognostic value of age in patients with carcinoma breast.
