Sažetak
Surgical treatment for breast cancer remains the dominant method despite a number of minor changes in the approach.While some twenty-odd jears ago, a diagnosis of breast cancer meantremoval of the entire breast and beyond, today the same result(bothsucces or fail results)can be achieved with conservative care. Participants of the Consensuns Conference in Paris in 1990 reachedthe conclusion that breast-conserving surgery followed by irradiation is an appropriate method of primary therapy for the majority of women with stage I and II breast cancer, and is preferable because it provides survival equivalent to mastectomy while preserving the breast.
