Abstract

|
|
1. The result of radiotherapy on 88 patients with carcinoma of the breast treated with Co-60 teletherapy unit during three year period from November 1963 to October 1966 was reported.
2. Whether or not treated operatively prior to radiotherapy, all patients were given a total tumor dose of 5, 000 Rad with a daily tumor dose of 200 Rad in 5 weeks to the breast proper and lymph nodes bearing area using a bolus.
3. Recurrence rate was 9.1% in the group with surgery plus post-operative irradiation and 18% in radiotherapy alone group.
4. For the management of breast cancer, a choice between surgery and radiotherapy should be made accurately and post-operative radiotherapy following radical mastectomy was found contributory for the prevention of local recurrence and the need for post-operative irradiation of lymph node bearing area after radical mastectomy, especially when histologic examination of the specimen has shown a large number of involved lymph node.
(We would like to acknowlege with grateful thanks for the advice and instructive criticism we have received from Dr. Dong Woon Choo,professor in Radiology, College of Medicine, Seoul National University, and Dr. Chi Yul Ahn, Director, Radiological Research Institute, Office of Atomic Energy.)
