Multicentric breast carcinoma was identified in 3.7% of 119 patients operated on at the Center Clinics. A slow growth, small size of tumors and infrequent lesions in the regional lymph nodes were registered. A correlation between the degree of malignancy and the number of tumor nodes in breast tissues was established. The best end results--a survival rate of 16.8% at 10 years--were obtained after radical mastectomies. A classification of multicentric breast cancers is suggested.
