We have already reported invasive ductal carcinomas (IDCs) with fibrotic focus (FF) to be
associated with significantly poorer survival than IDCs without FF. The purpose of this study
was to prospectively investigate the effect of the presence of FF on the outcomes of 439
patients with IDCs to confirm the prognostic significance of FF, by the multivariate analysis,
employing the Cox proportional hazard regression model, as compared with well-known
clinicopathological parameters. We also precisely evaluated the prognostic significance of …
