Popis: Four hundred and five (405) patients with histologically proven primary breast carcinoma were analysed in this study. There was complete response of 64.2% after surgery and radiotherapy. This is a better result in comparison with developing countries, for example, Nigeria where over 90% of cancer patients report at a late stage before treatment and inadequate radiotherapy facilities lead to long waiting list. A tumour regression rate (complete and partial) of 98.3% was obtained. This work has shown that most women with breast cancer could be cured when the lesions are detected very early and sizes smaller.
