Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer death among the women worldwide. The risk of local and distant recurrence is the highest during the first two years following the initial treatment. Very late relapse (after 12 years) is uncommon in breast cancer survivors.
Herein, we report the characteristics and outcomes of 6 such cases of breast cancer.
The mean age of the patients was 40.1 years (range 30-57) and the mean disease free survival was 19.6 years.
Late relapse is not so common in breast cancer but can occur in any stage. Therefore, we suggest life-time follow up for every patient with breast cancer.
乳腺癌是全球女性中最常见的癌症，也是癌症死亡的主要原因。在初始治疗后的头两年，局部和远处复发的风险最高。乳腺癌幸存者中非常晚期复发（12年后）并不常见。
在此，我们报告6例此类乳腺癌病例的特征和结果。
患者的平均年龄为40.1岁（范围30 - 57岁），平均无病生存期为19.6年。
晚期复发在乳腺癌中并不常见，但可发生于任何阶段。因此，我们建议对每位乳腺癌患者进行终身随访。
