Nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM) offers a safe oncological option for breast cancer patients, potentially reducing psychological distress. Careful patient selection and adherence to surgical techniques are crucial for successful outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Plastic Surgery

Context:

  • Mastectomy for breast cancer can lead to significant psychological distress and body image issues.
  • Nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM) is an evolving surgical technique aiming to mitigate these negative impacts.
  • The oncological safety and psychological benefits of NSM require thorough evaluation.

Purpose:

  • To review the current literature on nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM).
  • To assess the technical, oncological, plastic, and psychological aspects of NSM.
  • To evaluate the safety and patient acceptance of NSM in breast cancer treatment.

Summary:

  • Nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM) appears to be a safe oncological practice for selected breast cancer patients.
  • The technique, while not yet validated in France, shows promise in improving psychological well-being and treatment acceptance.

  • Key factors for successful NSM include meticulous patient selection, information, and adherence to surgical protocols like frozen section analysis and intraoperative vitality assessment.

    • Impact:

    • NSM may enhance patient acceptance of breast cancer treatment and reduce psychological morbidity.
    • Further validation and standardization of NSM, including adjuvant therapies like nipple radiotherapy, are needed.
    • This approach represents a significant evolution in breast cancer surgery, balancing oncological safety with patient quality of life.
