R. T. Osteen, G. D. Steele Jr, H. R. Menck and D. P. Winchester
Department of Surgery, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.

Patients in New England with early stage breast cancer are much more likely to be treated with partial mastectomy than are patients in the East South Central or West North Central regions.
