Analysis shows recurrence rates of breast cancer in women vary by complications and type 2 diabetes status, suggesting significant survival implications.
Key Points
Postoperative complications did not influence the recurrence of breast cancer but affected survival rates.
Among 58,198 women, complications were observed in 10.8%, with varying incidence rates of early and late recurrence.
Cox regression analysis indicated that postoperative complications increased mortality risk, especially in women with type 2 diabetes.
Findings suggest that addressing complications could improve overall survival among breast cancer patients, particularly those with type 2 diabetes.
