OBJECTIVE.- To determine the clinico pathologic picture, recurrence rate and prognostic factors influencing 5-year survival o breast cancer MATERIAL: Retrospective analysis of 39 patients with invasor operable breast cancer with negative axillary nodes who underwent Halsted (n=29) or Patey (n = 10) radical mastectomy between 1966 and 1995. LOCATI0N.Belen Hospital, Trujillo, Peru. RESULTS. Median age was 49 years and the mean time of history was 9,8 months. There were 20 postmenopausal and 19 premenopausal patients. The most frequent symptoms were tumor (100%) and pain (25,6%). The left breast (66,7%) and upper-outer quadrant (48,7%) were the most affected. Infiltrating ductal carcinoma (89,8%) was the most frequent histologic type. The 5-year local and distance recurrence rates were 15,44 and 20,5%, respectively. In the total series, the 5-year actuarial survival rate was 76% Using the u...

Thirty-eight patients with diagnosis of endometrial cáncer histologically demostrated were studied in order to identify the clinical features and determine the clinical stage. The patients were admitted at Belen Hospital, Trujillo, Perú, between 1966 and 1996. The mean age was 53,1 ± 11,4 years (range, 22 to 83 years); menarchie presented at 13,4 ± 1,6 years and menopause (n=25) at 48,2 ± 2,6 years. Eleven patients were nulliparae (28,9%), five (13,2%) had polycystic ovary, four (10,5%) had previous history of hypertension, two (5,3%) were diabetic and two (5,3%) bad personal history of another primary cáncer. Mean time of disease was 17,9 months. Most common, symptoms were vaginal bleeding (89,5%) and pelvic pain (52,6%) and most frequent sign was enlargement of the uterus (44,7%). The accuracy of the endometrial biopsy (n=5) and dilatation plus curettage was 80% and 85,7%, respec...
