Surgery in Breast Cancer - Conservative Approach or Mastectomy

چکیده
In recent 30 years the understanding of breast cancer surgery (BCS) underwent significant development from radical mastectomy to organ-preserving surgery. So, in nowadays organ-preserving surgery becomes the “gold standart” in these patients. Today, more than half of the newly diagnosed BC are suitable for quadrantectomy or lumpectomy with axillary lymph node dissection and subsequent radiation therapy. The mastectomy with axillary dissection has it own place in the modern concept of BCS in locally advanced tumors with low grade and in cases with no effect from neoadjuvant therapy. In conclusion BCS aims to provide the clinical diagnosis, to determine the pathological stage, to help the determination of prognostic markers and to ensure the disease loco regional control.
