This is a summary of Haagensen's experience with radical mastectomy over a 51-year period at the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. His prospective, experimental study includes 1036 patients with a follow-up of 47 years. These data are unequalled for any single method of treatment for breast carcinoma.
