RM is a useful approach in breast cancer surgery, with a low rate of re-excision and mastectomy. Overall survival at 10 years is similar to that associated with tumorectomy, though with a higher rate of local recurrence. Patient satisfaction and quality of life appears to be good one year after radiotherapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
