Analysis of surgical treatment for women with breast carcinoma of different diameters
The prospective study, lasted from January 2010 to January 2015, covered the respondents treated for breast carcinoma. The respondents were divided into 2 groups. First group, group A (59 respondents), included the respondents where the tumour was found in diameter to 2 cm and were operated by breast-sparing surgery. Second group, group B (88 respondents), was consisted of respondents where the tumour was discovered in diameter over 2 cm and which breast amputated as part of a radical cancer surgery by Madden technique. The aim of this study is to analyse the effects of surgical treatment of breast carcinoma with different diameter and influence of tumour diameter on treatment outcome. The parameters for comparison of results were the number of relapses, the time elapsed from surgery to recurrence and treatment outcome. There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding the motives for attending breast examination. The incidence of carcinoma in the left or right breast also showed no statistical difference. It was found that the most common breast cancer is in women age between 50 and 70. It has been shown that breast carcinoma with diameter over 2 cm was significantly more frequent in women age of 71 to 80. Recurrent disease was registered in 3 cases in respondents from group A. Recurrence in group B was not registered. Lethal outcome was observed in group B in 4 cases, and in group A in 1 case, which proved to be statistically different.
