[Evantail resection].
Thirty five of out 87 small breast cancer clinically sized 1.0 cm or less in diameter had invasion in surrounding breast tissue beyond 2.0 cm distant from a border of the tumor on histopathological examination: Seven out of twenty four (29 percent) for the defined type, twenty-one out of forty-eight (44 percent) for the poorly defined type, seven of fifty (47 percent) for the intraductal type of breast cancer. Those results lead me to design "Evantail resection" which was a modification of the quadrantectomy a case out of forty-two patients who underwent Eventail resection had a local recurrence at median follow-up time of 22 months ranging 3 months to 68 months. A technique of the Evantail resection was explained in detail in this articles.
