title: [Large-fractional preoperative irradiation combined with organ-sparing operations in stage I and II cancer of the breast].
abstract: A method of combined organ-sparing treatment for first- or second-stage breast cancer has been developed. It includes large-fraction preoperative radiation (28.5 Gy in 5 daily fractions) and segmental mastectomy with axillary lymphadenectomy. The method has been used in 25 patients. Mean follow-up time is 23 months. No local or regional relapses have been recorded. Total relapse-free survival is 92%. The cosmetic and functional effect is satisfactory.
