چکیده
THE RESULTS of treatment presented in this paper are those obtained in Northern Ireland in certain cases of breast cancer during the years 1955 to 1959. The year 1955 was chosen for the start of the study, as in that year for the first time a sufficient number of simple mastectomies for comparison with radical mastectomies was carried out. For various reasons it was not possible to initiate a random trial though it is fully recognised that such a trial would have been the proper way to investigate the value of each treatment method.
