This study of 264 nonmetastatic breast cancer patients found that an elevated APTT/TT ratio (≥1.4) was significantly associated with worse 5-year disease-free survival. Multivariate Cox regression identified high APTT/TT and lymph node metastases as independent prognostic factors. These findings suggest that integrating complex coagulation markers, such as the APTT/TT ratio, may improve prognostic evaluation following comprehensive treatment.
