Bilateral breast cancer: one disease or two?

Breast cancer research and treatment - 1 Nov 1991

Abstract excerpt

Our purpose was to determine whether bilateral breast cancer depends upon genetic predisposition to multiple tumors or, alternatively, represents two independent sporadic events. Biological concordance of hormone receptors and histopathology in bilateral tumors, family history of breast cancer, age at diagnosis, and survival were evaluated in 88 patients. The immunoreactivity of paired tumors from 51 patients to...
