[Characteristics of the therapeutic measures in breast cancer (based on data of the All-Union Center for the Study of the Effectiveness of Treatment of Cancer Patients)].
The paper deals with the evaluation of methods of treatment of 13,170 breast cancer patients. Stage I-II tumors were detected in 53.0% of cases. Surgery which still remains to be the basic method of treatment for breast cancer was used alone or in combination with radiation, chemo- and hormonotherapy in 77.6%. Radical treatment was given to 80.0% of patients under 55 years and 44.0% aged 75 and more. The number of cases who received symptomatic therapy decreased from 4.9 to 3.5%, while the percentage of combined (radiosurgical) treatment increased from 21.1 in 1968-1972 to 30.9% in 1974-1978.
