Objectives: After conservative management of breast cancer, two third are at risk of local relapse, a risk which is largely reduced by radiotherapy. Seroma formation after mastectomy typically delays recovery and adds to morbidity. Aim of the work: This study aims at collection of the seroma fluid after conservative breast surgery and detection of malignant cells in the drained fluid and its relation with local recurrence. Methods: Twenty three patients with early breast cancer were included in the study and after conservative breast surgery. Seroma fluids were collected from the drain for detection of malignant cells then these patients were followed for twelve to twenty four months for detection oflocalrecurrence Results: There was a high significance in local recurrence associated with cases showing malignant second samples compared with those with negative one (X2=29.076, p=O.OOO). Conclusions: Persistent presence of malignant cells in the postoperative drained fluid in females with early breast cancer is predictive for local recurrence. However long terms follow up and an increase in the number of the studied cases is recommended to confirm these results. |
