title: [Value of axillary lymphadenectomy in malignant tumors of the breast. Apropos of 135 controlled cases].
abstract: Personal experience in the treatment of breast cancer is reported along with the results of 135 cases in which long-term follow-up was carried out. The results are in line with what has been observed in the recent literature. Study of therapeutically removed axillary lymph nodes proved to be the main factor on which to base prognostic judgment and programmes of multidisciplinary treatment, if applicable. Further elements derive from hormonal receptors and, in future, from the study of cell kinetics with tritiated thymidine.
