PGR and metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes: However, recent studies have suggested that NEBC could be associated with worse long-term outcomes.[6] In addition, a large retrospective study by Zhang et al. reported a higher probability of local recurrence and poorer OS for NEBCs.[21] In the available literature, the prognostic factors affecting survival are indicated as disease stage, number of lymph-node metastases, and ER and PR status.[22] In the present study, age, grade, metastatic status, number of lymph nodes and molecular type were identified as prognostic factors that significantly affect survival in both groups.
