title: [Achievements of tumor surgery in tumors of the breast].
abstract: Radical mastectomy (Rotter-Halsted) lowered the local and regional recurrence rate from 60% to 6%. Prospective randomized trials showed that there are no differences in overall survival or disease-free survival when a combination of simple mastectomy and lymph node dissection is used; the axillary recurrence rate was 1.8%. Adjuvant radiotherapy is superfluous. Conservative therapy should be reserved for stage I carcinomas in breast cancer.
