Abstract:

 Background and objectives: Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with variations in clinical behavior and biological features that lead to variations in response to treatments and survival. The aim of this study was to look for the histopathological and therapeutic factors associated with breast cancer recurrence. Methods: In this retrospective study, 100 locally recurrent or distant metastatic breast cancer cases were reviewed between 2008 -2016 at Rizgary Oncology Center in Erbil to find out the most important risk factors that have an effect on breast cancer recurrence. Results: The current study revealed that grade of disease has a great effect on breast cancer recurrence when 64.9% of patients with grade III disease have had disease recurrence within the first 2 years from the date of diagnosis. Also, this study showed that, within the first two years from the date of diagnosis, 57.9% of stage III cases have had disease recurrence. Adding more, within the first two years, 36.4% of the triple-negative subtype and 41% of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 enriched subtypes had disease recurrence within that period. Concerning the effect of delay in receiving adjuvant radiotherapy, 65.2% of those patients that were waited for more than two months to receive adjuvant radiotherapy had disease recurrence within the first two years. Conclusions: Several factors have important effects on the disease recurrence like stage of the disease, grade, molecular subtypes, and delays in receiving adjuvant radiotherapy. All of them are independently causing earlier recurrence of breast cancer.
