Women with breast cancer who have passed only after removal of the tumor and subsequent radiation, but at the same time abstaining from mastectomy It is almost 20% more likely to win over the disease compared to those patients who have completely removed the chest. Meanwhile, today the majority of patients with tumors of the breast is selected mastectomy as a more reliable method of treatment, ostensibly provides the best chance of survival.
10 years, American scientists have studied the question of whether the benefit of mastectomy patients. It was found that less radical treatment of breast cancer Preserving the breast patients, provide the highest performance. This treatment involves surgical excision and subsequent high doses for five to six weeks in order to ensure complete destruction of malignant cells.
The researchers reviewed records for 112,154 women who are diagnosed with breast cancer between 1994 and 2004. Approximately 54% of patients have decided to save the breast, and 44% have gone through a mastectomy. Women in the first group survived an average of 13% more. However, the survival rate in the first case grew to 20% when it came to female patients older than 50 years.
In addition, it was found that women of all ages, have kept the affected breast cancer, 20% less likely to die, and from other causes, such as heart disease. Experts believe that this is due to the influence of the more powerful radiation that kills all cancer cells are much more reliable than mastectomy. (READ MORE)
