PY - 2010 T2 - Kuerer's Breast Surgical Oncology AB - From radical mastectomy to breast-conserving surgery (BCS), the last 35 years have witnessed a fascinating evolution in the role of surgery in the treatment of breast cancer. For almost a century, Halsted's mastectomy was the treatment of choice for all stages of breast cancer.
