  • Title: Cancer of the breast. Surgical management.
    Author: Spratt JS, Donegan WL.
    Journal: Major Probl Clin Surg; 1979; 5():302-49. PubMed ID: 379451.
    Abstract:
    We have reviewed a variety of surgical techniques for mastectomy, endocrine gland ablation and the management of pathologic fractures and pleural effusion. With their judicious use for the chronic disease of mammary cancer, many persons can be cured and many others can be given long periods of symptom-free survival. With (1) attention to proper indications and contraindications for surgery, (2) surgical detail and (3) good patient care, very few patients will be made worse.
