Abstract:
This review highlights important issues for surgeons treating early breast cancer. The optimal use of ovarian ablation, the value and timing of radiotherapy for breast preservation, and axillary dissection are considered. New information on the importance of local surgery, even for older women, and the biology of small (up to 10 mm), screen-detected cancers has been recently reported. The value of support services for women having breast cancer surgery is stressed.
