Five cases of breast carcinoma metastasizing to the choroid were investigated and compared with the current literature. Choroidal metastases were found to bear an unfavorable prognostic factor (median survival of 11 months), and are related to heavy metastatic involvement even when the latter is not evident. Two patients responded to treatment, one to irradiation and one to systemic chemotherapy. The peak incidence is in perimenopasual women (mean age 48.2) which suggests that in this group of patients ocular examination may be advised for the routine followup.
对5例发生脉络膜转移的乳腺癌病例进行了研究，并与现有文献进行了比较。发现脉络膜转移是一个不良预后因素（中位生存期为11个月），即使在其他部位转移不明显时，也与广泛转移有关。2例患者对治疗有反应，1例对放疗有反应，1例对全身化疗有反应。发病高峰出现在围绝经期女性（平均年龄48.2岁），这表明对于该组患者，建议在常规随访中进行眼部检查。
