Retrospective study of malignant phyllodes tumors of the breast: Younger age, prior fibroadenoma surgery, malignant heterologous elements and surgical margins may predict recurrence

Abstract

The results of this study showed that younger age, fibroadenoma surgery history, malignant heterologous elements and surgical margins <1 cm predict a higher incidence of recurrence in MPT patients. Patients with malignant heterologous elements treated with chemotherapy could have a reduced risk of recurrence.
