Dormancy of mammary carcinoma after mastectomy.
BACKGROUND The longest interval between primary treatment of breast cancer and tumor recurrence, i.e., the limit of breast cancer dormancy, defines the appropriate length of follow-up, the effectiveness of treatment, and curability (no excess mortality risk for patients relative to the general population) for the disease. To determine this limit, we analyzed long-term follow-up data from patien...
متن کاملRe: Dormancy of mammary carcinoma after mastectomy.
Karrison et al. (1) retrospectively studied 1547 patients with breast cancer operated on during the period from 1945 through mid-1987 to evaluate the limit of breast cancer dormancy. In the report, the authors stated that they “did not see evidence for a second peak in the hazard curve as reported by Demicheli et al.” (2) and drew evidence for tumor dormancy from the elevation of mortality rate...
متن کاملEvolution of radical mastectomy for breast cancer
Surgical treatment of breast cancer has been marked by a constant evolution since the Halsted radical mastectomy described in the late 19th century has become the current standard Madden radical mastectomy, a breast surgery that involves the ablation of tissue with the axillary lymphatic preserving both pectoral muscles. The purpose of this paper was to present the stages that have marked the e...
متن کاملTwenty-five-year follow-up of a randomized trial comparing radical mastectomy, total mastectomy, and total mastectomy followed by irradiation.
BACKGROUND In women with breast cancer, the role of radical mastectomy, as compared with less extensive surgery, has been a matter of debate. We report 25-year findings of a randomized trial initiated in 1971 to determine whether less extensive surgery with or without radiation therapy was as effective as the Halsted radical mastectomy. METHODS A total of 1079 women with clinically negative a...
متن کاملAxillary recurrence after modified radical mastectomy.
Optimal management for axillary recurrence is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for overall survival in the patients with axillary recurrence. Data of 1098 patients were collected from breast cancer registers from Clinic for Oncology Nis between 1990-1995. All patients underwent modified radical mastectomy. Axillary recurence was diganosed in 43 (3.92%) p...
