OUTCOMES FOLLOWING MASTECTOMY IN TERMS OF LOCAL RECURRENCE AND EFFECT OF POST-MASTECTOMY RADIATION THERAPY ON RECURRENCE IN BREAST CANCER

Abstract

Background: Recurrence after a mastectomy occurs locally or at distance. These recurrences are of importance as they have a marked impact on the survival, psychology, and morbidity of the subject who underwent the mastectomy.  
Aim: The present trial was carried out to evaluate distant and local recurrence after mastectomy in subjects with breast cancer, and the effect of PMRT on recurrence. Also, the impact of nodal status, hormone status, and status of margins on this recurrence was assessed
