Treatment results in mammary carcinoma stages I-IV

A retrospective review of 590 patients with breast carcinoma of all clinical stages is presented. The patients were treated mainly with radical mastectomy and postoperative irradiation. The overall 5- and 10-year survival rates were 59% and 45%, in stage I 83% and 76%, in stage II 64% and 47%, in stage III 29% and 14% and in stage IV 5% and 0%, respectively. Treatment methods, prognostic factors and differentiation grade of infiltrating ductogenic carcinoma have been analysed and the effect of these factors on the treatment results in different clinical stages is presented.
