[The immediate results of the combined treatment of stage-III breast cancer].

Immediate results of complex treatment were studied in 185 patients with stage IIIa, b (T1-2N2M0 and T3N0-2M0) nodular breast cancer. Preoperative chemoradiation treatment incorporated microwave procedure. All patients had been radically mastectomized after Patey. The analysis included assessment of response and degree of treatment-induced pathomorphosis, versus age, menstrual function, site and histologic structure of tumor. Microwave procedure proved an effective component of complex treatment of stage IIIa, b breast cancer. Good results were obtained in patients aged 51-60 suffering adenocarcinoma.
