Abstract

Mastectomy is considered standard salvage therapy for an IBTR in patients previously treated with breast conserving surgery and whole-breast radiotherapy (BCS + RT). Many women with IBTR opt for SBCS despite limited literature suggesting a 35% risk of subsequent local relapse. The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes of SM and SBCS and study the feasibility of SBCS. Prognostic factors were analyzed to identify patients who are candidates for SBCS.
