Objective To discuss the clinical and pathological factors which influence breast cancer recurrence and metastasis after mastectomy. Methods The clinical and pathological data of the breast cancer patients
who underwent mastectomy in our hospital between May 1997 and August 2005
was collected. The differences between the patients whose diseases recurred and/or metastasized in 5 years after mastectomy and those who survived free of the disease more than 5 years were analyzed. Results Age
pathological type
tumor size
lymph node status
hormone receptor status adjuvant chemotherapy and endocrinotherapy were the important influencing factors. Conclusion Early diagnosis and standard therapy are key to degrade the rate of breast cancer recurrence and metastasis after mastectomy.
