Abstract
This is the first study which shows LRR after breast-conserving therapy is a very strong, time-independent prognostic factor for long term outcome in early stage breast cancer patients. These findings suggest that a LRR after a long event-free interval seems to be an indicator rather than an instigator of subsequent distant disease.
