“…Our data show that RT is associated with a 60% lower risk for BC events in DIN2-DIN3 patients irrespective of ER status, consistent with the meta-analysis of the large phase III trials, where RT resulted in a lower recurrence rate for ipsilateral and invasive breast cancer, by 60% and 55%, respectively [9]. Although every subset of patients seemed to benefit from RT in terms of recurrence, this treatment has not yet provided a survival advantage and may have some long-term toxicity [28]. In addition, given the high NNT, the best subset of subjects who clearly benefit from RT is yet to be defined.…”

“…Multiple other factors have sporadically been shown to affect prognosis, including grade and margin status, although the size of previous studies has made the drawing of definitive conclusions difficult. The major aetiological factor that is implicated in the development of breast sarcoma is previous irradiation of the breast after treatment for a prior malignancy [8][9][10][11] .…”

“…Some large series have been published that included 32 to 948 patients identified with RAS. 4,[18][19][20][21][22][23] Most of those reports dealt with epidemiology rather than treatment options, and others focused on specific tumor types. The prognosis for patients with RAS is poor and is comparable to the prognosis for patients with sporadic soft tissue sarcoma according to most authors, although Gladdy et al reported a worse prognosis for 130 patients who had RAS compared with their entire cohort of >7000 patients who had sporadic soft tissue sarcomas.…”
