Radical mastectomy for operable breast cancer
Journal of Surgical Oncology
|January 1, 1977
Summary
Radical mastectomy for operable breast cancer shows excellent survival rates (75% at 5 years, 62% at 10 years) with low local recurrence. This study supports radical mastectomy as a highly suitable surgical treatment option.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Surgical Oncology
- Clinical Medicine
Background:
- Breast cancer treatment has evolved, with various surgical techniques debated for efficacy.
- Radical mastectomy, a historically significant procedure, remains a consideration for operable cases.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the outcomes of radical mastectomy in operable breast cancer patients.
- To compare the efficacy of radical mastectomy with other treatment modalities.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 152 operable breast cancer cases treated with radical mastectomy.
- Evaluation of patient survival rates and local recurrence incidence.
Main Results:
- Achieved an overall 5-year survival rate of 75% and a 10-year survival rate of 62%.
- Reported a low local recurrence rate of 9.8% among treated patients.
Conclusions:
- Radical mastectomy demonstrates excellent long-term survival rates in operable breast cancer.
- The low incidence of local recurrence further supports radical mastectomy as a preferred surgical option.
