Comparison of Outcomes of Standard and Oncoplastic Breast-Conserving Surgery

Comparison of Outcomes of Standard and Oncoplastic Breast-Conserving Surgery

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to determine and to compare the oncological outcomes of bilateral reduction mammoplasty to standard breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer. METHODS One hundred sixty-two patients who received a quadrantectomy because of breast cancer (group 1) and 106 breast cancer patients with macromastia who underwent breast-conserving surgery via bilateral reduction m...

Imaging Results Following Oncoplastic and Standard Breast Conserving Surgery.

BACKGROUND Oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery (OBCS) requires more complex surgical techniques than standard wide local excision (WLE) and the postoperative complication rate may be higher. Since these can have an impact on postoperative imaging, we compared imaging and biopsy results after OBCS and WLE. METHODS Findings for patients undergoing OBCS (n = 83) or standard WLE (n = 128) were ...

Oncoplastic surgery – Standard of care

Oncoplastic breast surgery in the setting of breast-conserving therapy: A systematic review

Breast-conserving therapy (BCT), or breast-conserving surgery with adjuvant radiation therapy, has become a standard treatment alternative to mastectomy for women with early-stage breast cancer after many long-term studies have reported comparable rates of overall survival and local control. Oncoplastic breast surgery in the setting of BCT consists of various techniques that allow for an excisi...

Applicability of Oncoplastic Breast Conserving Surgery in Asian Breast Cancer Patients.

BACKGROUND There are limited studies on oncoplastic breast conserving surgery in Asian women. We aimed to determine the applicability and safety of oncoplastic surgery, highlighting the specific circumstances when it will be most useful and compare our preferred technique with the worldwide practice of oncoplastic approaches. MATERIALS AND METHODS Breast cancer patients who underwent oncoplas...
