Abstract
According to the criteria established by Cahan et al., we report 14 ra diation induced sarcomas occurring in the treated volume after radiati on therapy for adenocarcinoma of the breast. All these sarcomas were t reated by wide surgical resection. In spite of a macroscopic free marg in, only patients who underwent major amputation could hope to be cure d. All the centrally located sarcomas recurred. (C) 1994 Wiley-Liss, I nc.
