A medical team wants to determine which form of mastectomy is most effective for prolonging life for women with breast cancer: radical mastectomy (removal of breast, chest muscles, and lymph nodes), simple mastectomy (removal of the breast only), or "lump-ectomy" + chemotherapy (removal of only the cancerous lump, leaving the breast tissue otherwise intact). The team examines the records from five large hospitals and compares the survival times after surgery of all women who have had these various types of surgery for breast cancer.
