Abstract:
Breast-conserving surgery combined with postoperative radiotherapy has become the preferred treatment for the early-stage breast cancer as it has equivalent survival to that of mastectomy. It is sometimes challenging to completely excise the cancer with adequate surgical margin while preserving the natural shape and appearance of the breast. Oncoplastic breast surgery emerged as an approach to allow wider excision when required to achieve clear margin without compromising acceptable breast volume and shape. It is based on the principle of plastic surgical techniques for reshaping the breast after oncological excision of breast cancer. This review article will focus on the basic surgical options and approaches to oncoplastic breast surgery.
