Background Reproductive factors may influence breast cancer progression and patient survival; however, evidence has been limited.Methods The associations of reproductive factors with tumor characteristics and patient survival were analyzed among 1468 breast cancer patients diagnosed during 1997-2013 at a single institute in Japan. The patients were followed until 2016. During a median follow-up period of 8.6 years, 272 all-cause and 199 breast cancer deaths were documented.Results In case-case comparisons, later age at menarche was inversely associated with advanced tumors. Nulliparous patients tended to have receptor-positive [estrogen receptor (ER)+or progesterone receptor (PR)+] tumors. Conversely, the Cox proportional-hazards model including adjustment for tumor characteristics revealed U-shaped relationship between parity number and the risk of all-cause death among the patients overall [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.10 for nulliparous, 1.28 for 2, and 1.50 for >= 3 vs. one child]. According to hormone receptor, later age at menarche and later age at last birth were positively associated with the risk of all-cause death among patients with ER- and PR-cancer (menarche, HR = 2.18 for >= 15 vs. = 35 vs.
