ABSTRACT
Background
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed type of cancer among women and an important cause of premature death among women. The goal of oncoplastic surgery in women with early-stage breast cancer is to remove breast cancer with negative histological margins and preserve the breast contour. We aimed in our study to assess the oncologic and cosmetic outcomes of applying different types of volume displacement techniques of oncoplastic surgery in the early stages of breast cancer.
Methods
This study included (30) patients who had undergone different types of volume displacement techniques of breast oncoplastic surgery in the early stages of breast cancer. This study was conducted at Zagazig University Hospitals, Nasser's Institute Hospital for Research and Treatment, And National Cancer Institute in Cairo. Patients were evaluated for oncologic and cosmetic outcomes.
Results
In our study, the pathologist in our multidisciplinary team affirmed that none of the patients had any tumor recurrence demonstrating that we had performed a safe oncoplastic technique from the oncological perspective. In our study, none of our cases have had a poor or ugly score. We were able to achieve an excellent cosmetic outcome for relatively large mass excisions with 90% of the cases were in excellent and very good score groups with a mean cosmetic outcome score of 4.53.
Conclusion
Breast oncoplastic surgical techniques were as safe as modified radical mastectomy in oncologic control but with more adequate cosmetic outcome
