title: [Changes in the surgical treatment of breast cancer].
abstract: Changes in radicality of breast cancer surgery between 1991 and 2000 are issued in this paper. While breast conserving surgery was performed in 26 cases (25%) out of 103 in 1991, in the year 2000 165 patients were operated of breast cancer and the breast was preserved in 143 cases (87%). These results are partly approved by the breast cancer screening performed by physical examination since 1981 and also by mammography since 1998. The five-year overall survival of patients who had been operated between 1991 and 1994 is 90%, the local recurrency rate is 6%. Considering these data breast preserving surgery is a reliable method.
