Cornell University Medical Bulletin July 1920 Vol 10

Excerpt from Cornell University Medical Bulletin; July, 1920, Vol. 10: Studies From the Department of Surgery It will be noted that none of these cases is recorded as excellent. We do not feel that we can SO classify them, owing to the possibility Of a recurrence. We have, therefore, divided them into two groups - satis factory (free from recurrence) and unsatisfactory (recurrence) Carcinoma of the breast. In general our follow-up report Of breast carcinoma shows that recurrence is much more frequent than one would believe from the literature. We believe that a patient Should be in good condition six years after operation to count a case as cured. As our series only goes back six years we believe that not enough time has elapsed for us to draw definite conclusions. In our study Of breast cases, we believe that cases come too late for operation and that progress must be made towards earlier recognition and earlier operation.
