From 1972 to 1976, 488 women suffering from cancer of the female breast underwent uniform surgical treatment (Rotter-Halsted-operation), no postoperative irradiation. In 62 cases (12,7%) a lymphoedema could be observed. The author holds the opinion that the oedema of the equilateral arm is caused by dissemination of cancer cells and depends on tumour stage and not the specific kind of treatment.
1972年至1976年期间，488名患有女性乳腺癌的患者接受了统一的手术治疗（Rotter-Halsted手术），术后未进行放疗。其中62例（12.7%）出现了淋巴水肿。作者认为，患侧手臂的水肿是由癌细胞扩散引起的，取决于肿瘤分期，而非具体的治疗方式。
