ABSTRACT
Purpose: Significant proportion of breast cancer patients with locoregional recurrence eventually die of their disease. This study was performed to investigate the risk factors associated with locoregional recurrence of breast cancer after breast conserving surgery.
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 302 patients with breast cancer who underwent breast conserving surgery and analyzed the association between locoregional recurrences and clinico-pathological factors of each patients.
Results: The 26 of 302 patients (8.6%) developed locoregional recurrence during a median follow-up of 35.5 months. 18 patients (5.9%) had local recurrence, 6 patients (2.0%) had regional recurrence and 2 patients (0.7%) had locoregional recurrence. On univariate analysis, positive margin (p<0.0001), HER2/neu positive, extensive intraductal component, multiplicity were statistically significant risk factors for locoregional recurrence of breast cancer. On multivariate analysis, positive margin status, HER2/neu positivity and multiplicity were significantly associated with locoregional recurrence after breast conserving surgery.
Conclusion: Our study showed that adequate resection margin is the most important to reduce locoregional recurrence of breast cancer after breast conserving surgery. In addition, HER2/neu amplification or multiplicity increased the locoregional recurrence rate in breast cancer.
Keywords: Breast cancer | locoregional recurrence | margin status | risk factor
