  • Survival after lumpectomy and mastectomy for early stage invasive breast cancer: the effect of age and hormone receptor status.

    Hwang ES, Lichtensztajn DY, Gomez SL, Fowble B, Clarke CA. Cancer. 2013; 119 (7): 1402-11

    Randomized clinical trials (RCT) have demonstrated equivalent survival for breast-conserving therapy with radiation (BCT) and mastectomy for early-stage breast cancer. A large, population-based series of women who underwent BCT or mastectomy was studied to observe whether outcomes of RCT were achieved in the general population, and whether survival differed by surgery type when stratified by age and hormone receptor (HR) status.
