[Late results of combination treatment of breast cancer]

A study of the end results of complex treatment of 483 breast cancer patients showed that 5- and 10 year survival is much more frequent in cases of localized non-metastatic tumor than in those of metastases in regional lymph nodes. The end results of therapy of advanced breast cancer depend to a great extent on the method of treatment. A comparison of the methods of complex therapy showed that 5-years results of treatment of advanced breast cancer involving regional lymph node metastases may be improved, if chemotherapy is part of the treatment.
