Clinical Characteristics and Long-Term Outcomes of Young Women With Breast Cancer: A Multicenter Study From Uruguay
Young women with breast cancer in Uruguay frequently present with aggressive tumor features and advanced disease at diagnosis. Nevertheless, when managed within a multidisciplinary framework and treated according to current standards of care, long-term survival outcomes are favorable and comparable to international reports. These findings underscore the importance of early detection strategies and equitable access to guideline-based care in middle-income countries.
