  • Title: Breast reconstruction for malignant or premalignant disease.
    Author: Apfelberg DB, Maser MR, Lash H, Lee RH, Kieraldo J.
    Journal: West J Med; 1976 Nov; 125(5):350-3. PubMed ID: 983012.
    Abstract:
    In ten patients breast reconstruction was done after surgical treatment for a premalignant or malignant breast disease. In six of these, prophylactic subcutaneous mastectomy and implant reconstruction were carried out, and in the remaining four reconstruction was done after simple or modified radical mastectomy. It is suggested that these procedures should be considered by those physicians and surgeons who undertake evaluation and treatment of breast disease in women. Breast reconstruction should be considered and offered to patients who suffer from the severe personal and emotional trauma attendant to surgical operation for breast disease.
