All children were healthy and grew up normally up to the age of 12-142 months (end of the study) and their median age of 51 months. Only 2 patients had stage III disease at diagnosis while the remaining 19 had stage I-IIb. Three cancer recurrences were observed (14.3%) after 7-84 months. One patient had a second primary-ovarian cancer 60 months after mastectomy.
