| Popis: | Breast-conserving treatment for breast cancer combines lumpectomy, axillary nodes treatment and radiotherapy of the breast. Conservative surgery and radiotherapy is now the standard treatment for unifocal, non inflammatory tumors, less than 3 cm in diameter. The widespread use of mammographic screening leads to a significant increase in the proportion of non palpable breast carcinomas, and has contributed to increase the proportion of breast conserving treatments. Neoadjuvant treatments (chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormonotherapy) can also extend the indications of breast conservation to breast carcinomas larger than 3 cm. Furthermore, in the last ten years, new surgical procedures (sentinel node biopsy, oncoplastic surgery, minimal invasive surgery) have been developed, increasing the surgical possibilities. After a learning phase to establish new standards for these procedures, all these techniques are now part of our standard surgical apparel, thus extending the possibilities of breast conserving surgery. |
