title: [Therapy and results of the treatment of breast cancer. A report on 1,003 cases 1970 to 1978].
abstract: 1003 women with invasive breast carcinoma were treated in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Medical School Hannover, between 1970 and 1978. In 787 patients modified radical mastectomy was combined with postoperative radiation therapy. In 797 patients, who were observed for at least 5 years, the 5 year survival rate was 63.0%, depending on tumor stage. In spite of intensive loco-regional treatment, local recurrence occurred in 18.0%. For us, that was one among other reasons to discontinue routine postoperative radiation therapy.
