Comparative Study of Local Recurrence in HER2 Neu +ve Breast Cancer Between Patients Treated with Breast Conserving Surgery and Modified Radical Mastectomy

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in woman worldwide and is the leading cause of cancer related deaths in developing countries, with nearly 1.7 million new cases diagnosed in 2012 (according to the latest date for available data). Global cancer rates in general are expected to rise from 14 million in 2012 to 20 million over the next two decades, making cancer a significant global health emergency. Advancements in breast cancer screening and treatment have contributed to a 38 percent decline in breast cancer deaths in the U.S. from 1989 to 2014, translating to 279,300 fewer breast cancer deaths.
