PurposeGuidelines recommend breast-conserving surgery (BCS) with radiation or mastectomy for definitive local therapy of stage I/II breast cancers. We assessed receipt of definitive local therapy for early-stage breast cancer by race/ethnicity and age and examined trends over time.Patients and MethodsWe calculated rates of definitive local therapy (mastectomy or BCS with radiation) for 375,547 adult women with stage I or II breast cancer diagnosed during 1988 to 2004 using Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry data. We assessed the probability of definitive local therapy and trends over time using multivariate logistic regression.ResultsOverall, 85.8% of women had definitive local therapy. As mastectomy rates decreased (76.5% in 1988 to 38.0% in 2004; P < .001), definitive local therapy rates also decreased (95.2% in 1988 to 79.2% in 2004; P < .001). In adjusted analyses, rates of definitive local therapy were modestly lower for black and Hispanic (v white) women and higher for Asian women. Differences for black and Asian women were stable over time (P = .61 and P = .35 for interaction), but increased for Hispanic women (P = .0003). Although age differences narrowed over time, women older than 70 years and women
