Background: In this study, we aimed to assess the outcomes, and predictors of recurrence in patients with early-stage node-negative breast cancer. Methods: We evaluated data of the patients who were treated between 1988 and 2018 years retrospectively. Demographical, clinical, pathological, and treatment features of the patients were recorded. SPSS 25 version was used for statistical analysis. We used Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analysis to assess survival analysis. Also, we performed logistic regression and ROC analysis for recurrence predictors. Results: In total, 347 patients were included in the study.The median age was 50 (range, 18-81) at diagnosis. The percent of the patients who had stage 1 and 2 were 86.6% and 13.4%, respectively. The most common histopathological type was invasive ductal carcinoma (71.6%). Estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor positivity were 80.3% and 62.1%, respectively. Her2 receptor positivity was 15.9%. The number of patients who had undergone lumpectomy and mastectomy was 85.5% and 14.5%, respectively. Sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed on 78.7% of the patients, and axillary lymph node dissection 21.3%. Also, the patients received adjuvant radiotherapy (88.7%), adjuvant chemotherapy (48.5%), and adjuvant hormonotherapy (82.1%). Tumor recurrence was occurred in 31 (8.7%) patients (local recurrence-45.2% and metastasis-54.8%). Five-, ten- and twenty-years recurrence ratios were 4.3%, 8%, and 23%. Also, contralateral breast cancer has occurred in 19 (5.3%) patients. During the study period, 30 (8.4%) patients died. Ten-years and twenty-years survival ratios were 91.6% and 76.6%, respectively. In univariate analysis, aged over 65 years (p = 0.004), nuclear pleomorphism (p = 0.049), mitosis (p = 0.003), and necrosis (p = 0.002) were statistically significant for recurrence. In ROC analysis, the tumor's longest size was not statistically significant for recurrence (for over 1.45 cm, p = 0.07). Conclusions: In this study, we determined thirty-years outcomes in patients with early-stage node-negative breast cancer. In the follow-up, we detected the recurrences ratios, between ten and twenty years, were more common than the first ten-years. Despite a small number of patients who had a recurrence, we showed that being age over 65 years and pathological features (nuclear pleomorphism, mitosis, and necrosis) were statistically significant for disease recurrence in univariate analysis.
