title: [Therapy for 29 sarcoma of the breast].
abstract: We discuss the best therapeutic method for sarcoma of the breast. The data of all cases treated from March 1964 to May 1994 were analyzed retrospectively. Of all cases, 7 died, 9 recurred, and 15 survived more than 15 years and 5 over 20 years. The follow-up time was 4 months to 25 years. Most sarcomas were pathologically proved. The best therapeutic method was operation. The sarcomas of all cases must be extensively resected including surrounding tissues. The recurrent sarcoma should be resected again. The axillary lymphnodes should not be eliminated when lymphnodes is not discovered.
