The effect of previous abortions, both induced and spontaneous, on the prognosis of breast cancer patients was analysed, applying the hazard regression model of 1190 radically mastectomized Japanese women. The 10-year disease-free survival rate of 800 patients without abortion, 312 with one or two abortions and 78 with 3 or more abortions was 64.8%, 69.8% and 77.3%, respectively. Previous abortions had a significantly favourable effect on the prognosis when the effects of 8 other co-variants were taken into account (p = 0.008). Histologic findings on resected materials showed that patients with previous abortions had a higher incidence of well-differentiated breast cancer (25%) than those without abortions (19%) (p = 0.026). The former group had significantly less metastasis to visceral organs (11.8%) than the latter (17.5%) (p = 0.011) when the first recurrence site was investigated.
