Five hundred thirty-six cases of early breast cancer (T0 to T2, N0 to N1) treated with breast conservation therapy were monitored for a median interval of 64 months. Fifty-five locoregional failures occurred after a median interval of 40 months; the actuarial failure rate was 9% at 5 years and 19% a

Consequently, there is considerable disagreement regarding appropriate local management of this disease. To determine the influ
