[Local treatment of axillae and its impact on survival in patients with early breast cancer (EBC) after breast conservative surgery (BCS)].
Following a shut survey showing the influence of the local therapeutic approaches (operative and radiation) for axillaries region on the distant survival, dissemination and lethality in patients with early BC after BCS, the author presents her treatment results. It is pointed out that BC is a systemic disease in some criteria taking in a consideration. In this aspect no significant influence of the local therapeutic methods is found. Furthermore a long-term follow up is still met to prove that a less extensive local treatment methods lead to irreversible consequences: increasing the local recurrences, distant dissemination and lethality.
