External fixation for pedicle-flap immobilization: a new method providing limited motion.

abstract：:Breast-conserving therapy is widely accepted as an appropriate method of primary treatment of T1 and T2 breast cancers that measure up to 5 cm. For safe and cosmetically acceptable breast-conserving therapy in patients with larger breast cancers, the tumor volume has to be reduced preoperatively, and lost tissue volum...
