By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaJun 16 2023Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent study published in the BMJ, researchers reported longitudinal outcomes among British women suffering from early invasive-type breast tumors as their initial tumor and those initially treated by surgical methods such as conservative surgery or mastectomy.
Regularly obtained National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service data of 512,447 British women diagnosed with breast tumors as their initial invasive tumors between January 1993 and December 2015 were deidentified and analyzed. The early invasive-type breast tumor among all participants affected the breast with or without axillary lymph node involvement and metastasis.
Results Initially, data from 783,980 women were obtained, from which the team excluded 24,157 women aged below 18 years or above ≥90 years, 33,086 women who were registered solely based on death certificates or who were followed for <3.0 months, 10,798 women with non-invasive breast cancers, and 22,577 women diagnosed with two cancers simultaneously.
Related StoriesThe crude 5.0-year risks of death from breast malignancies for patients diagnosed between 1993 and 1999 and between 2010 and 2015 were 14% and 5.0%, respectively. The adjusted yearly rates of breast malignancy-associated mortality were also lowered with time among almost all groups by factors of 3.0 and 2.0 for estrogen receptor-positive and estrogen receptor-negative diseases, respectively.
