Modified radical is indicated when: tumor is in situ and confined to the breast, tumor is low-grade, non-aggressive. Photographs shown of Paget's disease, nipple lesions, eczema of nipple with crusting. Radiation therapy should follow surgery. Modified radicallooks better and allows better function than the radical or extensive radical. Radical mastectomies followed by radiation therapy were performed on patients with early infiltrating tumors (survival rate 50%). In patients in which the disease was confined to the breast and who were treated with post-operative radiation, the rate was 54.4%. The extended radical mastectomy was performed on patients with a high risk of internal mammary spread, recurring cancers after radical mastectomy and radiation therapy, especially pa |
