    Most authors agree that 60-80% of patients have a good or excellent cosmetic outcome after conservation surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. 2 Patients who have had breast conservation also generally assess their cosmetic outcome as good or excellent in 80-95% of cases. 3 Given all the concerns currently being raised by members of the public regarding the potential late effects of radiotherapy and the campaigns of RAGE (Radiotherapy Action Group Exposure) 4 and other pressure groups, it is important that information in the major medical journals should reflect a balanced view on these issues.
