Lumpectomy just as effective as mastectomy.(breast cancer treatments)(Brief Article)
2002 NOV 7 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- New results from a long-term study of breast cancer patients reveal that patients who underwent lumpectomies fared just as well as patients who had mastectomies, according to a new study presented in October 2002, at the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology's Annual Meeting in New Orleans.
Due to the lack of data with follow-up greater than 15 years on the outcomes of breast conservation versus mastectomy, researchers updated the results of a randomized, single-institution study.
In the original study, 247 patients with clinical stage I and II breast cancer were enrolled in the protocol and randomly assigned to undergo either modified radical mastectomy or lumpectomy, axillary dissection and radiation therapy. The patients who underwent randomization have now been followed for a median of 18.4 years.
