Question About the Prognosis of IBC

Especially if the 21st Century definition of IBC includes sub-classes, do the sub-classes correlate with:

  1. Overall Survival?
  2. Time to recurrence?
  3. Location of first clinical evidence of metastasis?
  4. Growth of tumor in nests and sheets versus large mass detectable by mammogram and/or ultrasound?
  5. Chemosensitivity or chemoresistance by specific drug or type of drug class?
  6. Age, ethnicity, culture?
  7. Pre/peri/post menopausal status?
  8. Number of pregnancies and diagnosis relative to last or current pregnancy?
