ABSTRACT
Between 1963 and 1981, 1139 patients had surgery for unilateral breast cancer at the Charlottenburg Gynaecological Clinic of the Free University Berlin. A total of 948 patients had a simple mastectomy and 191 patients had an extended tumorectomy (or lumpectomy) with subsequent radiotherapy (40 Gy). Retrospective analysis of "matched cases" treated by tumorectomy or mastectomy showed the rate of local recurrence after tumorectomy to be nearly double that after simple mastectomy (8.7% after tumorectomy, 4.7% after mastectomy). Life expectancy with a local recurrence after conservative surgery, was however, better than that after simple mastectomy.
