β¦ Synopsis
The results of a pilot multimodality program (surgery + radiotherapy + chemotherapy) are reported in 34 women with advanced stage I11 and IV adenocarcinoma of the breast. The median relapse-free survival for all patients was 24 months, with 74 % of the premenopausal patients and 37 % of the postmenopausal alive at five years (P=O. 18). The relapse rate was significantly lower in premenopausal patients when compared to the postmenopausal subgroup. Estrogen receptor status was not predictive for relapse or survival.
