[Indications-related and technical errors and their consequences in breast saving treatment].
Conservative treatment becomes an established procedure for small breast cancer worldwide. Randomized and non-randomized studies have shown equal prognostic results compared with the more radical operative treatment. This large-scale therapy only can be worthwhile, if the cosmetic results are better than breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Therefore a rigorous indication, a standardized technical procedure and a well-functioning team of interdisciplinary cooperation is required. Out of 500 conservatively treated patients we controlled a random sample of 134 relative to the cosmetic result. The results were related to our standard technique.
