[Development of surgery for breast carcinoma by Joseph Rotter].
Hundred years ago Joseph Rotter published his new method of operation for breast cancer, by which the rate of local recurrences significant was decreased. This radical mastectomy performed similarly by Halsted in Baltimore (USA) was the surgical standard of the breast cancer therapy for a long time and is still used in local advanced carcinoma until today.
