Abstract
- Whether or not young age at diagnosis is an adverse prognostic factor in breast cancer has long been controversial, in part because much previous work has not taken due account of menopausal status and confounding factors. We have analysed the influence of age on prognosis in a consecutive series of 1703 patients with stage I-III breast cancer. All were premenopausal and all were treated in one centre (Institut Curie, Paris) between 1981 and 1985. Mean age was 44 years (range 23-55) and median follow-up was 82 months.
