Quadrantectomy, a breast-conserving surgery, offers greater curability for certain breast cancers but may cause cosmetic issues. Its use should be limited to specific cases with wide ductal spread to balance outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Breast Surgery

Context:

  • Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) aims to maximize cancer removal while preserving breast aesthetics.
  • Quadrantectomy involves wide resection of a breast segment, including the duct-lobular system.

Purpose:

  • To describe the surgical techniques and clinical outcomes of quadrantectomy for breast cancer.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and limitations of quadrantectomy compared to other BCS techniques.

Summary:

  • Quadrantectomy provides enhanced surgical curability for breast cancers with extensive ductal spread.
  • However, it can lead to significant cosmetic defects and has not demonstrated superior local recurrence rates versus wide resection.
  • This technique is best indicated for breast cancer exhibiting segmental and wide ductal spread.

Impact:

  • Highlights the trade-off between oncologic control and cosmetic results in breast cancer surgery.
  • Emphasizes the need for patient-specific surgical strategy selection in breast cancer management.
  • Informs clinical decision-making regarding the appropriate application of quadrantectomy in breast cancer treatment.
