Breast-conserving surgery for early invasive breast cancer is common. This study supports individualized treatment, including partial mastectomy without radiation for select patients with small tumors, to achieve local control.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Breast Cancer Treatment

Background:

  • Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is widely accepted for small, localized invasive breast cancer.
  • Controversies remain regarding optimal tumor size, margin adequacy, and the necessity of post-mastectomy radiation therapy (RT).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present results of BCS at Cleveland Clinic.
  • To advocate for individualized therapy, including BCS without RT for select patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of breast-conserving operations.
  • Analysis of outcomes for patients with small invasive breast cancers.

Main Results:

  • Presents outcomes of BCS at Cleveland Clinic.
