Typical XXXX of the breast: a clinical and pathological analysis of 52 cases.

@entity1 @entity189 @entity5 @entity0
Fifty-two @entity1 with @entity0 , diagnosed according to criteria of Ridolfi et al. [Cancer 40:1365-1385, 1977] are described. At the time of diagnosis, 90% of the @entity1 were stages I and II. The primary @entity5 size was < or = to 4 cm in 46 (88.5%) and > 4 cm in 6 (11.5%) @entity1 . Axillary lymph nodes were microscopically negative in 35 (67.3%) and positive in 17 (32.7%) @entity1 . All 52 @entity1 underwent the Patey operation. Seventeen @entity1 with microscopically positive axillary lymph nodes received postoperative irradiation. Of the 52 treated @entity1 , 44 (84.6%) survived 10 years NED. The only prognostic factor was the microscopical axillary lymph nodes status. In the group of pNO @entity1 , 97.1% survived 10 years NED, pN+ 58.8% only. The sole causes of unsuccessful treatment were distant metastases to lungs, hepar, and bones. Typical @entity189 is a favorable histological type of @entity0 with very good prognosis for pNO @entity1 .
