Changing patterns in the treatment of early breast cancer: a historical perspective and a review of changing local trends.
Med J Malaysia. 1993 Jun; 48(2):211-6.MJ

Abstract

Over the past 50 years, a variety of surgical procedures have been advocated for the treatment of operable breast cancer, ranging from local excision to supraradical mastectomy. Today, the surgical treatment of breast cancer remains highly contentious. We review the historical development of breast cancer surgery and analyse the available evidence supporting conservative procedures. We also express our opinions on the treatment of early breast cancer and illustrate the changing patterns of surgery with our experience at National University Hospital.
