The overall rates of BCS have remained stable or slightly increased over the past decade in the United States. The CPM rates have markedly increased while unilateral mastectomy rates have decreased. Increasingly, more women are not receiving RT after BCS, particularly high-risk women. These trends have important potential untoward consequences. Strategies are being developed to ensure adequate local therapy for breast cancer patients.
在美国，过去十年间保乳手术的总体比率保持稳定或略有上升。而同时，部分切除术的比率显著上升，而单侧乳房切除术的比率则下降。越来越多的保乳手术后的女性不再接受放疗，尤其是高危女性。这些趋势可能带来重要的不良后果。目前正在制定策略，以确保乳腺癌患者接受充分的局部治疗。
