Abstract
1020 patients with early breast cancer were treated between March, 1970, and October, 1975, according to a prospective clinical trial. The results have been recorded after a follow-up of two to seven years. 713 cases of clinical stage-1 cancer were randomly allocated to treatment by simple mastectomy and postoperative radiotherapy, or simple mastectomy alone. There was no statistically significant difference in overall survival or in survival without distant metastases between the two groups. There was a significant reduction in the incidence of local recurrence in those who had received early postoperative radiotherapy compared with those who had not. 307 cases of clinical stage-11 cancer were randomly allocated to treatment by simple mastectomy and postoperative radiotherapy or radical mastectomy alone. There was no statistically significant difference in survival or in the incidence of local recurrence or distant metastases between the two groups.
