Abstract

Materials/Methods: From November 1977 to December 1995, 1379 female patients with stage I and II invasive breast cancer had been treated with breast conservation treatment. The patients have been subsequently followed with regular physical examination and yearly bilateral mammography. The results of clinical examination, mammography, recurrence in the ipsilateral breast and development of contralateral breast cancer were evaluated. The methods of detection of local recurrent tumor in the ipsilateral breast and the methods of detection of contralateral breast cancer were compared to the methods of detection of the primary tumor.
