Abstract P2-12-07: Treatment of the breast in occult breast cancer: Results of a prospective Dutch national cohort study with 5 years follow up

ConclusionIn occult cT0N+M0 breast cancer, conservative treatment of the breast is an acceptable modality which results in similar distant recurrence and overall survival rates. Surgery and breast irradiation appear to reduce the risk of ipsilateral breast recurrence. This is the first prospective study that provides evidence in the current clinical setting to guide treatment for patients with occult breast cancer.Citation Format: de Maat M, Bretveld R, Steevens J, Vissers Y, Hulsewé K.
