Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Breast Cancer Treatment

Background:

  • Oncoplastic surgery (OPS) integrates oncological resection with plastic surgery techniques.
  • This approach aims to achieve tumor excision without compromising cosmetic outcomes in breast cancer patients.
  • OPS improves aesthetic-functional results and positively impacts patients' psychological well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the principles and techniques of oncoplastic surgery for breast cancer.
  • To present methods for preoperative design and surgical decision-making in OPS.
  • To report on the assessment of aesthetic and quality of life (QOL) outcomes in OPS patients.

Main Methods:

  • Preoperative planning considering breast volume, tumor characteristics, and nipple proximity.

  • Application of volume replacement and displacement techniques for optimal aesthetic-functional results.
  • Outcome assessment including local recurrence rates, cosmetic evaluation, and patient satisfaction questionnaires.

    • Main Results:

    • OPS facilitates tumor removal while maintaining or improving breast aesthetics.
    • The combination of oncological and plastic surgery techniques leads to favorable aesthetic-functional outcomes.
    • Patient-reported outcomes, including quality of life, show significant improvement post-OPS.

    Conclusions:

    • Oncoplastic surgery is a significant advancement in breast cancer treatment.
    • OPS offers a superior approach for achieving both oncological safety and excellent cosmetic results.
    • Comprehensive assessment of aesthetic and QOL outcomes validates the benefits of OPS for breast cancer patients.
