Popis: Young women form a unique cohort in breast cancer, with evidence suggesting a later stage at presentation with more aggressive cancers. We aimed at evaluating the prognostic significance of young age and the impact of stage and molecular subtypes on survival. We conducted an audit of a prospectively maintained database at our institute between 2010 and 2014. All women with available receptor status and documented follow-up were included. The young breast cancer (YBC) cohort comprised 103 women and 230 women constituted the comparator arm (45-55 years). The median follow-up was 4 years. The YBC had a higher incidence of hormone negative tumors (61.1% vs. 46.3%
