TY - JOUR AU - Mansfield, Lucy AU - Agrawal, Avi AU - Cutress, Ramsey I. PY - 2013 TI - Oncoplastic breast conserving surgery JF - Gland Surgery; Vol 2, No 3 (August 30, 2013): Gland Surgery (Oncoplastic Breast Surgery) Y2 - 2013 KW - N2 - Oncoplastic breast conserving surgery is a fundamental component of the repertoire for the management of breast cancer. It facilitates removal of large volumes of breast tissue, and can improve cosmetic outcomes and patient satisfaction whilst maintaining good oncological principles, reducing re-excision and mastectomy rates and assisting in adjuvant radiotherapy planning. We review the various techniques for oncoplastic breast conserving surgery that have emerged over recent years and describe their utilisation in excising tumours from various locations within the breast, and the pertinent patient specific factors that must be considered in technique selection. Finally complications and the evidence for the oncological safety specific to this type of surgery are discussed. UR - https://gs.amegroups.org/article/view/2627
