TL;DR
Time trends in stage of disease, treatment patterns, and survival for selected cancers for breast carcinoma are examined here.
Abstract
These data are consistent with the hypothesis that younger women are at increased risk for biologically more aggressive breast carcinoma.

Multivariate analysis of both survival and disease-free interval demonstrated that the worse prognosis of young age was independent of other factors such as clinical tumour size, clinical node status, histological grade, hormone receptor status, locoregional treatment procedure, and adjuvant systemic therapy.

Overall, epidemiologic studies suggested that younger women have the worst survival outcome, when matched with similarly staged older cohorts, and data support the conclusion that "young age" serves as a surrogate for a greater frequency of adverse prognostic factor profiles.

It is demonstrated that young women with early stage breast cancer do significantly worse when compared to older women in terms of relapse-free survival, cause-specific survival, distant metastasis and breast and regional node recurrence.

Findings underscore the class-based nature of the observed crossover and pose a challenge to accepted theories of breast cancer etiology, including induced abortion and oral contraceptive use prior to first full-term pregnancy.

The crude mammary recurrence rate was studied in 5-year age intervals for 1,382 Stage I and II breast cancer patients treated by conservative surgery and radiation therapy and followed for a median of 11 years.

Knowledge of the pathology and biomarker characteristics of BRCA1 gene-linked hereditary breast cancers, which account for a substantial fraction of breast cancers in younger women, should shed light on the nature of the responsible gene(s) and guide approaches to therapy and prophylaxis.
