Mastectomy (MRM) is one option for the surgical
treatment of breast cancer which is widely used in
Srinagarind Hospital. This study aimed to evaluate the
outcome of Modified Radical Mastectomy by studying
the 5-year survival rate and 3-year disease-free
survival rate, complication and risk factor of survival
of breast cancer patients at Srinagarind Hospital.
Material and Method: We reviewed the case records
of 215 consecutive breast cancer patients who underwent
MRM at Srinagarind Hospital, Faculty of
medicine, Khonkaen University between January 2004

site of tumor was located by the upper outer quadrant
(46.5%). Most patients had Stage II breast cancer: 117
patients (54.4%). The most common operative
surgical complication was seroma collection in seven
percent of patients. The 5-year survival rate was 83.6%
and the 3-year disease-free survival rate was 78.9%.
Conclusion: The 5-year survival rate of breast cancer
who underwent MRM was 83.6% and the 3-year
