Survival rates for pre- and postmenopausal Danish women with mammary carcinoma

Survival rates for mammary carcinoma, based on the data of the Danish Cancer Registry for women admitted 1960 to 1966, show about the same values for women aged under 55 in stage I, whether surgical treatment has been combined with radiation therapy or not. For women aged over 55, combined treatment is followed by better survival rates than surgery or radiation therapy alone. For stage II, this applies both to younger and older women.
