Abstract This work has identified variables of importance to short- and long-term prognosis in 97 node positive breast cancer patients followed for a minimum of 98 months. The diameter of the primary tumour (β©½3 cm/>3 cm) is shown to be an important prognostic variable. Its addition to the presence/a

Background. Many pathologic features of breast carcinomas have been proposed as prognostic correlates: their interrelationships and their relative value as prognostic indicators were studied. Methods. A series of 399 axillary lymph node-positive infiltrating ductal breast carcinomas was studied his
Early diagnosis is most important in the prognosis in colorectal cancer because the cause of cancer is unknown and an effective and practical large-scale screening test, easily and cheaply carried out, is unavailable. If the diagnosis is made early, when the patient is asymptomatic, and prior to dev
