BACKGROUND: Since the course of breast cancer is often unpredictable, we wished to develop a model using characteristics of the primary tumour alone to predict prognosis.
METHODS: Several tumour features were determined, and after a median follow-up duration of 65 months, multivariate analysis identified tumour size and grade, oestrogen receptor concentration, axillary lymph node metastasis and tumour cell proliferation fraction (MIB-1 count) as being independently associated with increases in risk for both relapse and death from breast cancer. A prognostic model was constructed using tumour size and grade, oestrogen receptor concentration and MIB-1 count only. A score of 1 for each was given to tumour size > 20 mm, tumour grade 2 or 3, oestrogen receptor concentration < 10 fmol/mg cytosol protein and MIB-1 count > 9%. Five groups established by assigning a combined score of 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 for each patient were analysed for their associations with disease-free and overall survivals.
RESULTS: This preliminary model predicted 5-year survival rates of 97, 91, 85, 68 and 50% for the five groups. The model was further simplified by excluding tumour grade from the analysis. The revised model identified four risk groups with predicted 5-year survival rates of 91, 86, 66 and 52%. This model, the Adelaide prognostic index, was also able to identify four risk groups in both node-negative and node-positive patients.
CONCLUSIONS: The Adelaide prognostic index can be used to predict prognosis even in the absence of axillary lymph node information.
