%X Breast conserving surgery and mastectomy are both widely accepted surgical treatments for breast cancer. Where both apply, survival probabilities after surgery are regarded as equivalent (1-5). However, the risk of local recurrence is currently slightly greater after breast conserving surgery despite the addition of whole breast irradiation, although the difference is becoming smaller and clinically insignificant (6-8). This risk is on average 0.5% to 1% per year (1-11), but the highest hazard occurs during the first 5 years after surgery (12)
