[Treatment of breast cancer recurrence with fast electrons].

During the period from July 1970 to July 1974 in the radiotherapy department of the N. N. Petrov Research Institute of Oncology of the USSR Ministry of Public Health 63 patients with breast cancer were treated with fast electrons. The irradiation technic employed in these patients allowed the occurrence of the early and late local radiation reactions and damages to be avoided. To improve the results of the treatment for local and regional recurrences and breast cancer metastases, it is necessary to elaborate some rational combinations of radiotherapy with general specific therapeutic measures.
