| Popis: | 1. 1. One hundred twelve cases of carcinoma of the breast were reviewed; seventy-five died within five years, twenty-seven lived five years or more without metastasis and ten lived five years or more but had metastasis. 2. 2. Local physical signs were more advanced in the group which died within live years. 3. 3. Axillary metastasis was more pre-dominant in the group which died within five years. 4. 4. Various operative procedures were used, namely, radical mastectomy, radical mastectomy but leaving the pectoralis minor, simple mastectomy cleaning the axilla, simple mastectomy and excision of the tumor alone. 5. 5. In the group dying within five years radical mastectomy followed by post-operative x-ray gave a longer life span. 6. 6. Cases in the group living five years but getting subsequent recurrence were reviewed in detail to show both the length of time that may elapse before recurrence and to show the value of palliative x-ray. 7. 7. There were three operative deaths. 8. 8. Radical mastectomy was performed eighty-four times. In these eighty-four recurrence in the skin and scar occurred eleven times. 9. 9. Four cases of carcinoma arising in the contralateral breast after the first breast was amputated for carcinoma were reviewed. 10. 10. Two additional cases of extramammary breast carcinoma were reviewed. |
