Abstract

Objective: The study aims to evaluate clinical and subclinical characteristics of stage III breast cancer patients at Phu Tho Provincial General Hospital. Methods: Descriptive study on 58 patients with stage III breast cancer. The implementation period is from January 2015 to September 2020. Results: the average age of patients was 46.9 years old (the lowest age was 26 years old, the highest age was 69 years old) with an average time of detection to hospital visit of 11.1 months. The majority of patients are having stage IIIB disease (63.8%). The breast tumor has a large size of 5.64 ± 2.37 (cm). 93.1% of breast tumors had histopathological results as invasive ductal breast cancer, the rate of hormone receptor positive was 62.1%, the rate of Her-2 expression was 39.7%, the rate of negative triplets encountered 12.1%. Conclusion: Most patients with stage IIIB-IIIC breast cancer (AJCC) have large tumor size and palpable axillary lymph nodes that are conjoined/fixed. The results of histopathology and immunohistochemistry play an important role in determining the disease state, the receptor status (ER, PR, endocrine, HER2) helps to choose an effective treatment method.
