The influence of age on survival was studied in an unselected series of 31,594 females with breast cancer reported to The Cancer Registry of Norway during 1955-1980. The prognosis was best in patients aged 35 to 49 years, and poorest in the older (275 years) and the younger patients (534 years). The
Long-term survival was evaluated in a total of 12,319 women with first breast cancer, comprising 94.9% of virtually all women with first breast cancers diagnosed in Sweden in 1959 through 1963. After correction for the expected mortality, it was found that age at diagnosis was an important predictor
Seventeen invasive primary breast carcinomas of histological types usually considered to be prognostically favourable (2 medullary, 3 papillary, 3 tubular, and 9 mucinous carcinomas) were analysed as part of an ongoing study of the cytogenetics of breast cancer. Thirteen of the tumours (7 mucinous,
