In consideration of increasing incidence by introduction of screening mammography, the prevalence of distant metastases and necessity of staging procedures in early breast cancer should be proved.
A retrospective review was undertaken of 466 patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer in the period from 2003 to 2006.
Distant metastases were found in 22 (4.8%) patients at the time of primary diagnosis of breast cancer. None of these patients had a tumour < or =1 cm and the percentage of metastatic disease increased with local extension (pT1 1.4%; pT2 7.9%; pT3 14.3%; pT4 23.1%; p<0.001) and nodal status (pN0 1.7%; pN1 3.8%; pN2 21.7%; pN3 17.6%; p<0.001)
Indication for bone scan, liver ultrasound and chest x-ray should be limited to patients with tumours >2 cm, or tumours >1 cm with lymph node involvement (N1-3).
鉴于乳腺钼靶筛查的引入导致发病率上升,早期乳腺癌远处转移的患病率及分期程序的必要性应得到证实。
对2003年至2006年期间新诊断为乳腺癌的466例患者进行回顾性研究。
在乳腺癌初诊时,22例(4.8%)患者发现有远处转移。这些患者中无一例肿瘤≤1 cm,转移疾病的百分比随局部扩展(pT1 1.4%;pT2 7.9%;pT3 14.3%;pT4 23.1%;p<0.001)和淋巴结状态(pN0 1.7%;pN1 3.8%;pN2 21.7%;pN3 17.6%;p<0.001)而增加。
骨扫描、肝脏超声和胸部X线检查的适应证应限于肿瘤>2 cm或肿瘤>1 cm且有淋巴结受累(N1 - 3)的患者。
