Abstract
Breast cancer represents a large proportion of cancers that affect women and it is a major public health concern. For many years radical mastectomy was considered to be the only surgical procedure with curative potential for breast cancer. Radical mastectomy has a major negative impact on the quality of life. In order to avoid the complete removal of the breast, breast-conserving surgical techniques have been developed. During breast-conserving surgical procedures only the tumor is removed along with the surrounding breast tissue within the oncologic safety margin. Based on specialty literature we will summarize the surgical technique and explain the indications and contraindications of breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer along with the risk factors for disease recurrence.
