ABSTRACT
A descriptive, longitudinal and retrospective study of patients with breast cancer assisted in “Conrado Benítez” Oncological Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, was carried out from January to December, 2016, to evaluate this female population survival and identify some prediction factors. The global survival according to the Kaplan-Meier method was considered and the confidence intervals were determined at 95 % of median and mean survival, as well as the prediction factors by means of the Cox regression. Mean global survival was approximately of 52-55 months and the rate of survival was 83.9 % at 5 years after the diagnosis; also, poor prediction factors were recurrence, ganglionar disorder, metastasis, extracapsular extension, muscular invasion and radiotherapy.
