[Radiotherapy of mammary cancer related to tumor size, tumor localization and surgical management (author's transl)].
Postoperative irradiation of the regional lymphatics is indicated when suspected positive lymph nodes remain after mastectomy. Postoperative chest wall irradiation is carried out in cases where staging of the tumor is T-3 and T-4. A local tumor control can be achieved with irradiation as the only means of therapy. Preoperative radiotherapy seems to lead to favorable results and should be encouraged in cases of advanced breast cancer.
