Breast-conserving surgery ("lumpectomy") with primary radiation therapy is gaining acceptance as an alternative to mastectomy for breast cancer. Currently, little is known about the specific immediate and long-range biopsychosocial effects of breast-conserving therapy as compared to more traditional mastectomy procedures. Physicians' speculations about the women who chose breast-conserving treatment as opposed to mastectomy seem to have been influenced by the scientific debate concerning the efficacy of this procedure. This study is a preliminary investigation of the attitudes and experiences of women receiving breast-saving therapy for carcinoma of the breast.
保乳手术（“肿块切除术”）联合原发性放射治疗作为乳腺癌乳房切除术的替代方案正逐渐被接受。目前，与更传统的乳房切除手术相比，对于保乳治疗具体的即时和长期生物心理社会影响知之甚少。与乳房切除术相比，医生对选择保乳治疗的女性的推测似乎受到了关于该手术疗效的科学辩论的影响。本研究是对接受乳腺癌保乳治疗的女性的态度和经历的初步调查。
