Abstract

AimsTo evaluate our results in locoregional recurrences in a cohort of patients with infiltrating breast cancer. MethodsA retrospective study was performed over patients with breast cancer who underwent surgery for breast cancer form January 2006 to December 2009 in Breast Surgery Unit of Fundación Jiménez Díaz University Hospital. Those with a minimum follow-up of 2 years and a locoregional recurrence confirmed by biopsy were selected. We analyzed patient and tumor's characteristics, time to recurrence confirmed by biopsy and long-term oncological outcomes. Results472 completed the inclusion criteria with a median follow-up of 66 months (47-85). Of them, 15 patients (3.2%) had a locoregional recurrence. A triple-negative breast cancer was found in 5 patients at the time of relapse (2 luminal A, 2 luminal B and one HER2), compared to one patient at the initial surgery. A higher cellular proliferation index was observed in recurrence tumors (45 vs. 30%; P=.068). Disease-free survival was higher in triple-negative non-selected patients (33 vs. 28 months; P=.199). During the follow-up period, one patient died (6%). ConclusionsIn our experience, locoregional recurrence of breast cancer is low and similar to the existing standard guidelines. Patients with triple-negative selected tumors showed worst disease-free survival rates.
