Summary
This study shows that segmental resection with axillary dissection and radiotherapy offers excellent survival rates for early-stage breast cancer patients. Most patients remain disease-free long-term, demonstrating the effectiveness of this treatment approach.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Surgical Oncology
- Radiation Oncology
Context:
- Focuses on early-stage breast cancer treatment.
- Investigates a specific surgical and adjuvant therapy protocol.
- Includes patients with T1N1aM0 staging.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the efficacy of segmental resection with complete axillary dissection and radiotherapy.
- To assess survival and recurrence rates in early breast cancer patients.
- To determine the impact of axillary lymph node involvement on outcomes.
Summary:
- 31 female patients with early-stage breast tumors (≤2 cm) underwent segmental resection and axillary dissection, followed by radiotherapy.
- Chemotherapy was administered for positive axillary lymph nodes.
- With a 44-month follow-up, 100% absolute survival was observed, with 97% of patients alive and disease-free.
Impact:
- Highlights a highly effective treatment strategy for early breast cancer.
- Demonstrates the potential for excellent long-term outcomes and disease control.
- Provides valuable data for clinical decision-making in breast cancer management.
