  • Analysis of imaging, neoadjuvant therapy, oncoplastic techniques, and pathological assessment.

    • Main Results:

    • Conservative breast surgery is associated with minor outpatient procedures, reduced pain and complications, and preserved breast aesthetics.
    • Neoadjuvant therapy can downsize tumors, increasing eligibility for breast-conserving surgery.
    • Oncoplastic techniques and tailored adjuvant radiation improve outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • A multidisciplinary team approach is vital for optimizing conservative breast surgery eligibility and outcomes.
    • Comprehensive management including imaging, neoadjuvant therapy, oncoplastic surgery, and pathology is key.
    • Conservative breast surgery provides significant benefits when appropriately selected and managed.
