Personalizing Breast Cancer Surgery: Harnessing the Power of ROME (Radiological and Oncoplastic Multidisciplinary...

Area of Science:

• Oncology
• Plastic Surgery
• Radiology

Background:

• Breast cancer treatment increasingly focuses on personalized care for better oncological and aesthetic outcomes.
• Multidisciplinary approaches are crucial for optimizing patient management and treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

• To introduce and evaluate the ROME (Radiological and Oncoplastic Multidisciplinary Evaluation) model for breast cancer patient management.
• To demonstrate how integrating radiological and oncoplastic assessments enhances personalized treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

• The ROME model involves a collaborative team of radiologists, oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, oncoplastic specialists, and psychologists.
• It utilizes advanced imaging for tumor evaluation, followed by oncoplastic assessment for surgical planning, balancing oncological resection with aesthetic preservation.
• Treatment plans are tailored based on tumor characteristics, genetic factors, and aesthetic considerations, integrating evidence-based guidelines with multidisciplinary input.

Main Results:

• The ROME model has shown significant improvements in both oncological and cosmetic outcomes.
• Patient satisfaction and quality of life have been enhanced through this integrated approach.
• The model facilitates personalized surgical strategies that effectively control cancer while optimizing aesthetic results.

Conclusions:

• The ROME model represents a holistic, patient-centered approach to breast cancer treatment.
• It highlights the importance of integrating clinical, radiological, and aesthetic perspectives for personalized care.
• ROME sets a new standard for multidisciplinary breast cancer surgery and patient management.
