Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the importance of oncoplastic breast surgery in modern breast cancer care.
- To emphasize the need for integrating oncoplastic techniques with adjuvant therapies.
- To advocate for early multidisciplinary team involvement.
Main Methods:
- Review of oncoplastic surgical techniques.
- Analysis of treatment decision-making processes.
- Emphasis on multidisciplinary team collaboration.
Main Results:
- Oncoplastic surgery achieves equitable oncological outcomes.
- Aesthetic results are significantly improved.
- Complexity arises in planning adjuvant therapies.
Conclusions:
- Early multidisciplinary team discussions are vital for optimal patient care.
- Surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists must collaborate.
- Integrating oncoplastic surgery requires careful consideration of adjuvant treatment planning.
