Especially in young women, breast cancer often presents as biologically aggressive. Nevertheless, the chances of survival are good if the right therapy is chosen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

More aggressive breast cancers tend to be found in women younger than 40. For example, the tumors are triple negative or HER2 positive. A study from Portugal of 207 female patients under 35 years of age demonstrated higher proportions of more aggressive tumor types [1]. They diagnosed tumors that were 20% triple negative, 28% HER2 positive, and 67% luminal B (versus 4% luminal A). However, 85% of those affected were able to beat the cancer. Only 26 patients had metastases and three had local recurrence. Survival was highest in women with hormone receptor-positive tumors, followed by those with HER2-positive breast cancer. Median survival in patients without metastatic disease was 130 months, compared with 37 months in patients with metastatic disease.<\/p>\n

A Swiss study was also able to confirm that the rate of disease-free survival is very high with 94.3% after three years and 91.2% after five years in women under 50 years of age [2]. A total of 359 women were followed for recurrence of their breast cancer during a median follow-up of 45.6 months. Fourteen patients developed local recurrence, six distant metastases, and nine affected both. The median time to recurrence was 31 months. The results show that a diagnosis of breast cancer at a younger age is not associated with increased mortality or a higher likelihood of the cancer returning. Therefore, it is important that adequate treatment is provided regardless of age.<\/p>\n
