Purpose: Breast cancer is increasing in Korea. and it has become the
second most common cancer in females. This study reviewed the history of
surgery and clinical analysis with follow up result on 2,677 cases of breast
cancer operated at the Gospel Hospital during the 50-year period 1951 to
2000 was performed. Methods: We reviewed breast cancer cases by
operative record datas and previous reports of our hospital during the
50-year period. Results: Minimal age was 14 years old and Maximal age
was 90 years old in all cases. The total count of operation was 2,677 cases
during the 50-year period (1951∼2000). In 1951, the hospital was opened. In
1953, 52-year old female was operated by mammary amputation. In 1958, 47-
year old female was operated by radical mastectomy. In 1976, 50-year old
female was operated by modified radical mastectomy. Since 1996, radical
mastectomy has not been operated any more. Radical mastectomy was performed
in 234 cases (8.7%), modified radical mastectomy in 2,164 cases (81.0%),
simple mastectomy in 79 cases (3.0%), partial mastectomy with axillary
dissection in 90 cases (3.4%), wide excision in 110 cases (4.0%) Overall 5
year survival rate was 41.5% (1970∼1982), 79.0% (1983∼1993), 82.3%
(1994∼2000). Conclusion: This study shows the fact that the
incidence of breast cancer is increasing and the minimal age is getting
younger and the maximal age is getting older. The treatment for breast
cancer is changing according to the period. also it will be developing.
