Abstract

In the group of 1,161 patients submitted to conservative surgery for breast cancer in the period from 1992 to 2002, 95 (8.2%) were found to have locoregional recurrence. The most frequent localization of the recurrent disease was the site of prior excision; in 39% of the patients recurrence developed early, i.e. within the first two years after initial treatment. As a secondary surgical procedure, mastectomy was the most frequent, after which 5 patients presented with repeated recurrence.
