Abstract:
The peroperative exploration of axillary content gave wrong result from the stage of axillary nodes in every fourth case compared with the final result of axillary evacuation. There were no locoregional recurrences in stage I-patients irradiated after mastectomy. In postoperatively irradiated stage II-patients there were locoregional recurrences in 2.5% of cases, which was 1/8 of recurrences of patients not irradiated postoperatively.
