Area of Science:

Oncoplastic Surgery
Medical Imaging
Virtual Reality Applications

Background:

Oncoplastic surgery expands options for conservative breast cancer treatment.
Challenges remain for conservative approaches in multicentric or multifocal breast cancer.
Accurate assessment of tumor and breast volume is crucial for surgical planning.

Observation:

A 31-year-old patient with multiple breast lesions was evaluated.
Virtual reality (VR) software, DIVA, utilized patient-specific MRI data for precise visualization.
The VR software allowed detailed assessment of tumor and breast volumes.

Findings:

The DIVA software enabled rapid confirmation and securement of partial surgery indication.
Multi-lesion breast cancer treatment was feasible with precise pre-operative planning.
The approach facilitated conservative surgical management without compromising safety.

Implications:

Virtual reality enhances surgical decision-making in complex oncoplastic breast surgery.
This technology can increase the number of patients eligible for breast-conserving procedures.
Minimally disfiguring surgical outcomes are achievable while maintaining oncological safety.
