Sumario: | SIMPLE SUMMARY: This article aims to review and summarize the current evidence for the role of oncoplastic breast surgery and the implications this may have on other therapies, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. ABSTRACT: Oncoplastic breast surgery encompasses a range of techniques used to provide equitable oncological outcomes compared with standard breast surgery while, simultaneously, prioritizing aesthetic outcomes. While the outcomes of oncoplastic breast surgery are promising, it can add an extra complexity to the treatment paradigm of breast cancer and impact on decision-making surrounding adjuvant therapies, like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. As such, early discussions at the multidisciplinary team meeting with surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists present, should be encouraged to facilitate best patient care. |
