title: [The early results of breast-conserving therapy in ninety-five patients of primary breast cancer].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To discuss the effects of breast-conserving therapy in Chinese women with early primary breast carcinoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Ninety-five patients with stage I to II primary breast cancer were operated with wide local excision and axillary lymph node dissection. After operation, the radiation therapy was done on the whole breast.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Breast conservation surgery was taken successfully in ninety-five patients. Six months after operation, the approval rate for their breast was 100% by themselves. Ninety-two per cent of them were very satisfactory. After a median follow-up of 17 months (range 2 - 51 months), only one patient suffered from ipsilateral breast tumor relapse. The two years local relapse rate was 1.4%. There were no cases of distant relapse and death.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The early results of breast-conserving therapy are satisfactory for stage I to II primary breast cancer. The long-term follow-up is needed for the final outcome.
