Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2014, Vol 41, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: This study presents the long-term results of patients who had breast conserving surgery at our clinic because of breast cancer. Methods: The data of 99 patients, who had breast conserving surgery because of breast cancer between January 2005 and December 2013 at Necmettin Erbakan University, Meram Medical School’s Department of General Surgery, were retrospectively evaluated. The analyses of the study were conducted by the SPSS 21.0 program. Results: The total number of patients was 99 and the mean age was 51.11 ± 9.62 (31-74). The most frequently seen pathology was infiltrative ductal carcinoma and it was detected in 62 (62.6%) patients. 88.7% (87 cases) of the cases received adjuvant radiotherapy in the post-op period. Following the mean follow-up period of 38.86 ± 23.43 (5-92) months, only one patient passed away. Further, 1 patient underwent surgery again after having local recurrence 70 months later and 3 patients also underwent surgery again upon detecting that they had tumors on the surgical border. Conclusion: After obtaining acceptable oncological results, the fundamental approach in the surgical treatment of breast cancers is to select the method that will have the least negative effect on the patient’s quality of life. At this point, selecting breast conserving surgery over radical surgical methods is an appropriate approach for suitable patients chosen carefully. Key words: Breast cancer, breast conserving surgery, radical mastectomy
