Patterns of recurrent disease were analysed in 603 patients with breast cancer. The time of onset, frequency of recurrence, and survival after recurrence were not influenced by age or menopausal state. While survival after local recurrence was longer than survival after distant metastasis, the time to onset of local and distant disease followed an identical pattern, indicating that local recurrence should be regarded as a manifestation of systemic disease. Postoperative radiotherapy did not affect the time of onset of local recurrence. We suggest that patients with local recurrence should receive both systemic and local treatment and that controlled trials of chemotherapeutic agents in these patients might be valuable in finding the most effective drug combinations to be used as adjuvant treatment after mastectomy.
对603例乳腺癌患者的复发模式进行了分析。复发的起始时间、复发频率以及复发后的生存率不受年龄或绝经状态的影响。虽然局部复发后的生存期长于远处转移后的生存期,但局部和远处疾病的发病时间模式相同,这表明局部复发应被视为全身性疾病的一种表现。术后放疗不影响局部复发的起始时间。我们建议,局部复发的患者应接受全身和局部治疗,对这些患者进行化疗药物的对照试验,可能有助于找到最有效的药物组合,用作乳房切除术后的辅助治疗。
