Comparative Study of Surgical Margins and Cosmetic Outcome in Lumpectomy versus Segmental Resection in Breast Cancer

Abstract: Objective: The aim of the present retrospective study was to compare two breast-conserving techniques, segmental resection and standard lumpectomy, for the treatment of breast cancer regarding their oncological safety. Quality of life aspects were evaluated by assessing the respective postsurgical cosmetic results. Patients and Methods: 190 women with breast cancer located in the superior and lateral quadrant were included in the study. Sixty patients were treated with segmental resection (group 1), whereas 13… Show more

“…Studies demonstrate that the overall disease-free survival from BC is equivalent for mastectomy and BCT along with postoperative radiotherapy; especially in women with early stage BC (Stages I and II) [8]. BCT can be performed in larger tumors as compared to lumpectomy [9]. OBS may have an inferior long-term oncological result in comparison [10].…”

“…Breast reconstruction is considered fundamental in breast cancer surgery . In the context of strictly conservative surgery, approaches to lumpectomy are increasingly refined and carefully planned, with the intent to combine as better as possible oncologic and cosmetic‐reconstructive requirements .…”
