Abstract
To establish the prognostic variables for ipsilateral breast tumour recurrence (IBTR) in EBC after BCS and the survival rate. Materials and Methods: We analyzed 100 patients with EBC who underwent BCS. Data were analyzed for treatment failure, an analysis was performed by Chi-square (χ²) test, Cox multivariate regression and Kaplan Maier for survival analysis. Results: 100 female patients underwent BCS for EBC. There were 75% of patients above 40 years old. T2 tumours were observed in 87% of patients and 53% patients had nodal involvement. There was a pattern of recurrence of 14%; Using the multivariate analysis tumour grade and margin were correlated to local disease free survival. The 3 years local disease free survival and overall survival was of 86 % and 97% respectively. Breast conservative surgery is a highly accepted surgery for early breast cancer with good result. Tumour grade and margin were correlated to local disease free survival.
