Clinical study of breast-preserving surgery in breast cancer / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the clinical effects of breast-preserving surgery in early-stage breast cancer. Methods From March 2002 to March 2007, 27 cases of early-stage breast cancer were treated with breast-preser-ving surgery. The control group had 28 cases, treated with radical mastectomy. Survival rate and recurrence rate were observed. Results The short-term progress of breast-preserving surgery in early-stage breast cancer had no significant difference with that of radical mastectomy. Plastic effects of breast were satisfied. Conclusion Breast- preserving surgery in early-stage breast cancer had favorable effects both in progress and in plastic. Therefore, it is warranted for wide use.
