ABSTRACT: Objective: Describe the occurrence delays of metastatic relapses of breast cancer
based on the characteristics of the original tumor. Methodology: This is a retrospective and cohort study conducted from
January 2000 to December 2015 on patients with metastatic relapse of
breast cancer. Results: Out of 178 patients collected, the metastatic
relapses were estimated at 49%, occurring in patients with an average age of
53.4 years. The majority of the patients was educated (91.6%) and did not have a high
socioeconomic level (88.2%). The
initial tumors were mainly at a clinical stage III (47.8%), SBR grade III
(47.2%), high index Ki 67 (46.5%), negative RH (79.3%) and HER2 negative (58%). Metastases
were unique in general (62.9%), dominated by bone locations (36.6%), with an
average age of occurrence of 2.4 years. After
the occurrence of these metastases, the cumulative survival rate was 5% at 3
years, and zero to 5 years. Conclusion: Metastatic relapses were common
with poor prognosis.
