Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among women in Western countries. Historically treated with radical and modified radical surgeries, breast cancer is now primarily managed with breast-conserving surgery combined with postsurgical radiotherapy. Oncoplastic breast surgery, a technique that integrates aesthetic breast reduction methods with cancer surgery, has been developed as a tumor-specific approach to facilitate breast conservation while removing the tumor. This method allows for higher excision volumes with minimal aesthetic compromise. The main components of oncoplastic surgery are volume displacement and volume replacement techniques. This review discusses the essential role of oncoplastic techniques in breast-conserving surgery (BCS), which has evolved into the standard of care for early-stage breast cancer. Understanding these techniques is critical for all breast surgeons to optimize both aesthetic and oncologic outcomes. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
