    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Breast Surgery

    Background:

    • Breast-conserving surgeries, including partial mastectomy, have historical precedents.
    • Previous studies by Adair, Porritt, Muskatallio, Wise et al., and Crile et al. have reported outcomes.
    • The term "lumpectomy" is considered inappropriate and has led to confusion regarding partial mastectomy techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To clarify patient selection criteria for partial mastectomy.
    • To review the essential techniques involved in performing a partial mastectomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature and historical data on partial mastectomy.
    • Discussion of established surgical principles for breast-conserving surgery.

    Main Results:

    • Historical context of operations less than mastectomy for breast cancer.
    • Identification of common terminology issues, specifically the term "lumpectomy".

    Conclusions:

    • Partial mastectomy is a viable breast cancer treatment with a history of use.
    • Clear guidelines for patient selection and standardized techniques are crucial for effective partial mastectomy.
    • Distinguishing partial mastectomy from the misnomer "lumpectomy" is important for clear communication and proper application.
