title: [Calcifications after tylectomy and irradiation for breast cancer. Their symptomatic picture and diagnostic value].
abstract: In several institutions lumpectomy combined with radiation treatment is being investigated as an alternative method in the primary management of breast cancer (1-5). In 8 of 53 patients, who had undergone this treatment, new calcifications developed after therapy. In 2 of the 53 patients postoperatively persisting calcifications were encountered. The authors report about their preliminary experience in the diagnosis of calcifications after this therapy.
