Overview
Epidemiology
Paget's disease of the breast is a rare disease that corresponds to 1-4.3% of all breast cancers and is frequently associated with intraductal, in situ or invasive neoplasms.[1] It is more prevalent in postmenopausal women, usually after the sixth decade of life, but it has also been reported in adolescent and elderly patients.2,3,4 It may affect male patients, albeit more rarely.
Prognosis
- Some factors indicate an unfavorable prognosis, among them:[1]
- The presence of a palpable breast tumor
- Enlarged lymph nodes
- Histological type of breast cancer
- Patients younger than 60 years
- Lymph node involvement is correlated with median survival rates, reaching 75-95% when negative and 20 to 25% when positive.
