Abstract

Forty‐five patients with locally advanced breast carcinoma were treated by radiotherapy. Twelve of them became operable and were operated. After 3 and 4 years in comparable clinical stage the rate of metastases in the nonoperated group was 78.6% and in the operated 75%. The survival after 3 and 4 years in comparable clinical stages was similar. In more advanced stages the survival was worse. Considering the trauma of mastectomy and the similar survival obtained in our material, an international trial should be performed to decide whether inoperable breast cancer becoming operable after radiotherapy should be operated.

67 patients with tumors 3 cm or less and with negative axilla, who had lumpectomy and radiotherapy, and 122 patients with larger tumors or clinically positive axilla, who had radical radiotherapy without prior lumpectomy, were evaluated at five years to determine the optimum dose for local control.
