“…In contrast to others studies we could not demonstrate a difference in clinical, histopathological or treatment characteristics between those with one or more FDR vs. none [21][22][23][24]. In women with 2 FDR we noted a lower incidence of lymph node metastases, and less adjuvant systemic therapy seemed associated with a positive FH (p40.05).…”

“…Nevertheless, overall survival is still poor in this group of young women. This is likely to be related to a more aggressive phenotype with less hormonally sensitive cancers (Figueiredo et al, 2007;Anders et al, 2008). The poor prognosis seems to particularly apply to breast cancer patients at age o35 years and is consistent between studies in the United Kingdom, North America and Asia (Nixon et al, 1994;Jmor et al, 2002;Han and Kang, 2010).…”

“…In younger African-American women, risk was significantly higher in those with the GSTT1 null alleles. Breast cancer in young women, particularly those younger than 35 years, is associated with a poorer prognosis (56,57). The differences in tumor histopathology and patient prognosis may be related to the poor differentiation of tumors, their higher grade and the presence of mutations in tumor suppressor genes such as p53 (58,59).…”
