  • Title: A new combined approach to the conservative treatment of early breast cancer.
    Author: Hayward JL, Winter PJ, Tong D, Rubens RD, Payne JG, Chaudary MA, Habibollahi F.
    Journal: Surgery; 1984 Mar; 95(3):270-4. PubMed ID: 6701783.
    Abstract:
    A combined surgical and radiotherapeutic technique is described that aims to: (1) achieve permanent local control of disease; (2) give full information on the histology and biochemistry of the tumor; (3) detail axillary node status; and (4) be compatible with adjuvant endocrine therapy or chemotherapy. This treatment is accomplished with minimal cosmetic defect and, in the majority of patients, with almost total conservation of the breast form. The surgical procedures are carried out during one hospital admission and performed with one anesthetic. No prosthetic replacement or augmentation of the breast is involved.
