Locally recurrent breast cancer after conservation therapy
TL Huston, RM Simmons - The American Journal of Surgery, 2005 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: Today, the majority of small invasive and noninvasive breast cancers are
treated with breast conservation therapy (BCT). The incidence of local-regional recurrence
(LRR) after BCT for stage 0, I, and II patients ranges between 5% and 22%. METHODS: A
