Bae: Oncoplastic Breast Surgery

Abstract

For the majority of patients with breast cancer, a surgery that minimizes breast loss combined with radiotherapy has become a popular treatment of choice. The wider clearance margins are necessary for the lower risk of local recurrences, although the greater amount of breast tissue should be removed and the risk of deformation of the breast is higher. Satisfactory cosmetic results can be achieved by oncoplastic breast surgery. The aims of this paper are to review articles of oncoplastic surgery for breast cancer and to summarize the full range of immediate reconstructions from local flaps to sophisticated perforator flaps. It is important for a surgeon to minimize breast loss while the operation and maintain the patient's feeling that her breasts are still a part of her own body after the operation. The oncoplastic breast surgery will become an integral element of the surgical treatment of breast cancer in the future.
