[Carcinoma of the breast. Reconstructive surgery]
Abstract
Every year in the German Federal Republic there are 15000 new cases of carcinoma of the breast in woman. In those cases in which metastases in the lymph nodes have not appeared, the rate of recovery is so high that a rehabilitation is worth careful consideration in each case. Methods of operation have been worked out over years of experimentation, with results that are now so good that not only breast-like forms, but genuine female breasts are created. With the reconstruction possibilities, the quality of the patients' survival time is improved.
