This study presents a breast-conserving surgery technique involving nipple resection for early breast cancer near the nipple. The procedure achieved excellent cosmetic outcomes and complete tumor removal in all patients.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Breast Cancer Research

Background:

  • Early breast cancer tumors located near the nipple present surgical challenges for breast-conserving procedures.
  • Standard breast-conserving surgery may not always be suitable for tumors in close proximity to the nipple-areola complex.
  • Nipple-sparing mastectomy is an option, but may not be oncologically appropriate for all cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and cosmetic outcomes of breast-conserving surgery with nipple resection for early breast cancer.
  • To assess the oncological safety of this technique in terms of resection margins.
  • To determine the suitability of this approach for specific tumor locations within the breast.

Main Methods:

  • Four patients with early breast cancer (3 Stage I, 1 Stage II invasive ductal carcinoma) underwent breast-conserving surgery with nipple resection.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Tumor locations were confirmed to be very close to the nipple.
  • Axillary dissection up to level III was performed in all cases.
  • Resected areola was reconstructed into a round shape using skin sutures.

    • Main Results:

    • Histopathological examination confirmed no cancer cells in the resection margins for all cases, indicating curative resection.
    • All patients achieved excellent cosmetic results with the reconstructed areola resembling a small nipple.
    • The surgical technique was effective for tumors located directly under the nipple or areola, or very close to it.

    Conclusions:

    • Breast-conserving surgery with nipple resection is a viable and effective option for early breast cancer located near the nipple.
    • The technique offers excellent cosmetic results while ensuring oncological safety with clear resection margins.
    • This approach expands the applicability of breast-conserving surgery for selected patients with nipple-adjacent breast tumors.
