    Abstract:
    The results of a study on 848 patients with breast carcinoma having maximum diameter less than or equal to 2 cm, that underwent a surgical treatment at the Institute of Special Surgical Pathology B (1980-82) and at the Institute of Surgical Clinic I (1980-89) are presented. The study has the purpose of evaluating, by the analysis of ten years surviving curves, the effectiveness of different types of interventions: Halsted radical mastectomy (98 patients), Patey radical mastectomy (245 patients) and Madden radical mastectomy (151 patients), quadrantectomy (260 patients). The age of patients ranges from 29 years to 92 years (average 56 years). The 68.04% of all tumors have resulted invasive ductal carcinoma (NOS) the 9.08% lobular carcinoma. Of the 848 patients included in the study 698 are alive at the end of the follow-up, with a survival rate, calculated with the actuarial method, equivalent to 63.38%. Results show the survival is independent of the type of surgical treatment (71.9% for quadrantectomy; 70.7% for Halsted radical mastectomy, 68.9% for Patey radical mastectomy; 70.7% for Madden radical mastectomy).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
