Factors Associated with Local Recurrence as a First Site of Failure Following the Conservative Treatment of Early Breast Cancer

  • Conference paper
Adjuvant Therapy of Primary Breast Cancer

Part of the book series: Recent Results in Cancer Research ((RECENTCANCER,volume 115))

Abstract

Conservative surgery and radiation therapy (CS + RT) has been shown to be an effective method of local treatment of early breast cancer, with survival rates equivalent to those following mastectomy. In view of this, more attention is now being focused on risk factors of local recurrence following CS + RT in an attempt to refine selection criteria and treatment techniques.
