It is breast cancer that has the highest incidence among all female cancer types in Taiwan
Sparing Mastectomy (SSM) and Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy (NSM) with immediate reconstruction are both safe surgical intervention methods compared with traditional simple mastectomy and breastconserving surgery for breast cancer patients regarding to local recurrence rate and longterm overall survival
The first Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy(NSM) report was from Hinton et al [3], who mentioned that NSM achieved the same local recurrence rates and survival rates compared to radical mastectomy [1]
Summary
It is breast cancer that has the highest incidence among all female cancer types in Taiwan. The age at cancer diagnosis in Taiwan female breast cancer patients is much earlier than that in European and American countries. Young female patients care much about their appearance after therapeutic surgery. The issue of oncologic safety, local recurrence, and distant metastasis in the long following life bother these young female patients. Both SSM and NSM offer these young female patients another choice in surgical options. Present National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines state that NSM is an acceptable surgical option for carefully selected patients with breast cancer [7]
