breast cancer

In this study, which included 684 patients with invasive breast carcinoma and long-term follow-up, we observed that those who presented grade 1 and grade 2 aneuploid tumours, as compared with diploid ones, had worse prognosis, either in the whole series or in early breast cancer (stages I/IIA of disease). The finding has therapeutic implications, as these patients are potential candidates to risk-adapted adjuvant therapy.

Even though this is not the first investigation addressing axillary dose coverage in patients submitted to tridimensional whole breast radiotherapy, this particular study aimed at evaluating the impact of the breast volume and shape in the dose reaching all three axillary levels, in early stage breast cancer patients.
