  The clinical data of 280 BCS patients were analyzed retrospectively in our hospital between July 2000 and March 2013.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The total effective rate was 90% (252/280). The rate of mortality was 7.14% (20/280), the rate of complication was 17.14% (48/280). We carried out followup in 198 cases from 6 months to 10 years, the rate of recurrence was 6.07% (12/198).
