On the assumption that an early breast cancer is tumor under 1.0 centimeter in diameter, sixty five cases of the early disease were picked out from 970 patients who had breast cancer during 20 years from 1961 to 1980. The former were 6.7 percentage among them. Only five cases (7.6%) among patients with such early breast cancer had metastasis in the axillary lymph nodes, except lymph nodes of the level III group. On the other hand, ten year survival after modified radical mastectomy for early breast cancer was 93 percentage. An inquiry of the atrophy of the major pectoral muscles after modified radical mastectomy revealed that it was rather fewer after Auchincloss's mode than after Patey's. In conclusion, the two facts suggested that surgery of Auchincloss's type was the most available for such early breast cancer.
假定早期乳腺癌是指直径在1.0厘米以下的肿瘤，从1961年至1980年的20年间，在970例乳腺癌患者中挑选出65例早期乳腺癌患者。前者占其中的6.7%。在这些早期乳腺癌患者中，只有5例（7.6%）除Ⅲ级组淋巴结外，腋窝淋巴结有转移。另一方面，早期乳腺癌改良根治术后的10年生存率为93%。对改良根治术后胸大肌萎缩情况的调查显示，Auchincloss术式后的萎缩情况比Patey术式后的要少。总之，这两个事实表明Auchincloss式手术对这种早期乳腺癌最为适用。
