title: [Breast saving or modified radical mastectomy in oncologic breast surgery?].
abstract: The bilateral subcutaneous reduction mastectomy is known as one of the methods in breast-saving cancer surgery, useful in patients with a malignant breast tumour showing multifocal lesions or combined with ptosis mammarum. In a retrospective study incorporating 160 patients after modified radical mastectomy or bilateral subcutaneous reduction mastectomy, we compared local recurrence rate, disease-free survival and mortality rate. A significant difference was found in local recurrence showing a higher rate in the non-radical group. The disease-free interval and the late mortality rate showed no statistical differences. The comparable disease-free interval of both groups added to the psychosocial benefits makes the bilateral subcutaneous reduction mastectomy a possible alternative surgical treatment of the breast carcinoma.
