recurrence rate after mastectomy
Since reading these post, I would recommend doing some research on the Internet about "recurrence after mastectomy". From what I have been reading
there is alot to consider. Local and distant recurrences had a pretty high rate in most of the literature I read.It seemed as though radiation combined with mastectomy, the precision of the surgeon, lymph involvement ,grade, stage all played a part. It seemed to be the roll of the dice. As micrometastisis, those hiding little bugers, no one, not even the most qualified surgeon, can see, are the culprit. Whether it be recurrence to original primary, or new recurrence
both were evident .There are alot of studies out there. Maybe this line of research will help make a decision. Good luck
