[Initial results in the mammographic diagnosis of recurrences following tylectomy and irradiation].

In several institutions lumpectomy combined with in- and external radiation is being used as an alternative to the modified radical mastectomy. The mammographic detection of local recurrence is complicated by the fact that the changes after radiation and surgery interfere with primary and secondary signs of malignancy. The authors report about their preliminary experience in the radiographic detection of recurrence in these patients.
