New England had the highest rate of such surgery and Southeastern and North Central states the lowest researchers said. The numbers May fail to show the True size of regional differences because of the study a limitations said a coauthor or. David Winchester. He suspects differences have narrowed since 1988, the year Analysed in the study. In new England 40.2 percent of patients in the study had a breast sparing partial Mastectomy. The lowest rates were 11.5 percent for the Region that includes Alabama Kentucky Mississippi and Tennessee and 13,6 percent in the area that includes the Dakotas Iowa Kansas Minnesota Missouri and Nebraska. The National average was 25.5 percent. Reasons for the variations Are unknown said Winchester medical director of the cancer department at the american College of surgeons.

The study used Hospital data on 41,680 breast cancer patients about 31 percent of the nation s breast cancer patients treated in 1988. About 10 percent of the sampled patients had no surgery.

The surgery is followed by radiation therapy for five to six weeks. Or. Dan Kenady of the University of Kentucky medical Center in Lexington said Rural geography May have contributed to his regions Low rate of breast sparing surgery.
