  • Abstract
    The pattern of recurrence following breast conservation has been studied. During the study period there were 59 ‘recurrences’, of which 39 were true local recurrences. Of these 39, only 1 occurred within the affected segment on a radius down to or away from the nipple compared with an expected number of 8 (P = 0.029). These data question the validity or the necessity of performing segmental excisions in patients undergoing breast conservative surgery.
