다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This is reporting the results in 70 consecutive patients with breast cancer treated between 1967 and 1973.
Until the present decade, radical mastectomy had been almost universally accepted as the ideal surgical therapy after its original description by Halsted over eighty years ago. Since the end results of surgical treatment for breast cancer have not shown appreciable improvement during recent decades, all modalities of surgical therapy today are being subjected to a searching review in clinics all over the world. But we have employed radical mastectomy as the usual operation of choice in patients considered acceptable surgical risks.
The 70 cases in this report were all female and the peak of incidence in age was between 40 and 60. We have employed TNM classification for staging the cancer and 36 cases (51.5%) were stage 1 and 2.
The most predominant site of the malignancy was upper outer quadrant.
Pathological studies have shown the adenocarcinoma have far exceed the other type. (72.9%)
Although long term follow up has been unsatisfactory, 32 cases were correspondable. Of the 32 cases, 14 patients have survived longer than five years.
