În studiu au fost incluse 150 de paciente cu cancer mamar, stadiile I, IIa şi IIb (T1N0M0 – T2N0-1M0), vârsta medie 41,5 ani. Lucrarea analizează rezultatele reabilitării chirurgicale a defectului mamar, format în urma rezecţiei sectorale lărgite cu limfadenactomie axilară, efectuată prin plastie musculară cu muşchul pectoral mare şi păstrarea nervilor în câmpul operator.

The study included 150 breast cancer T1N0M0 – T2N0-1M0 stages I, IIa and IIb patients of 26-57 years of age (average age of 41,5 years). Tumor detection in early stagess could serve as a clinical basis for a less mutilating tretment focused on the preservation of the organ, which proves to be as effi cient as major surgical intervention followed by long-term disability of breast cancer patients. The paper describes a method of plastic correction of the breast gland using a breast muscle graft and preserving nerves in the area of the surgical intervention which follows an enlarged sectoral resection and lymphodenactomy.
