Imaging Results Following Oncoplastic and Standard Breast Conserving Surgery

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 ...

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...

Replacement of the tumor bed following oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery with immediate latissimus dorsi mini-flap

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the geographic variability of the tumor bed following oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery (OP-BCS), and to assess its relevance for radiotherapy planning. In this prospective study, pre- and postoperative computerized tomography (CT) scans of 22 patients with early-stage breast cancer were fused. The preoperative gross tumor volume or excisional bi...

Oncoplastic surgery – Standard of care

Oncoplastic Breast Surgery

Centrally located tumours have long been considered to be more serious, multifocal and more likely to recur. In fact, this is not the case; the only real problem is ensuring that the breast is preserved with a “normal” form following breast-conserving surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy. As with more peripheral tumours, central tumours may also benefi t from breast-conserving surgery. Several tec...
