Knowing the clinical prognosis of untreated breast cancer is useful in dealing with patients with neglected disease or in environments with poorly developed healthcare systems. This study analyzes historical survival data in two sets of untreated patients: (1) 250 patients followed until death (up t

## Abstract Variation in survival of breast cancer patients has been examined for relationship to three demographic variables known to affect incidence ratesβgeography, socioeconomic status and age at birth of first child. Threeβyear relative survival ratios in two areas with high incidence rates (
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, HERβ1, and __erbB__1) is overexpressed in primary breast cancer and had been identified as a poor prognostic factor. ## METHODS. Pretreatment serum EGFR levels were quantified by using an enzymeβlinked immunoadsorbent assay in a
## Background: Tumor size has long been recognized as the strongest predictor of the outcome of patients with invasive breast carcinoma, although it has not been settled whether the correlation between tumor size and the chance of death is independent of the method of detection, nor is it clear how
