OPS techniques have many advantages over standard lumpectomies. They allow for immediate breast reshaping, helping to eliminate postoperative defects, and they offer wider resection possibilities. Level I OPS techniques are those employed w…

Oncoplastic breast surgery combines carcinological excision and plastic surgery techniques to reduce the iatrogenic sequelae of breast cancer treatment and extend the indications for conservative surgery. In France, conservative treatment (…

[BACKGROUND] Oncoplastic surgery (OPS) has extended the indications for breast-conserving surgery (BCS). Its role in patients with large breast cancers treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is unclear. This study evaluated the oncolog…

[INTRODUCTION] Breast cancer in women with cosmetic breast implants is increasingly common. Over the past decade, there has been a push for mastectomy and reconstruction in these patients, based on a fear of poor aesthetic results from smal…

[BACKGROUND] Oncoplastic surgery (OPS) allows wider resections with immediate breast reshaping by mammoplasty. This study reviews our experience with level 2 mammoplasties in patients with histology-proven pure ductal carcinoma in situ (DCI…

[OBJECTIVE] The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term oncologic outcome after oncoplastic surgery (OPS). [BACKGROUND] OPS combines wide tumor excision with reduction mammoplasty techniques thus extending breast conserving surgery…

Women who have undergone surgical treatment for breast cancer often benefit from a contralateral reduction mammaplasty (CRM) aimed at symmetrization of the contralateral breast unaffected by the initial cancer. In our 7-year multicentric st…

[BACKGROUND] Oncoplastic techniques applied to breast-conserving surgery (BCS) allow large-volume resections without compromising cosmetic results. Level II oncoplastic techniques are based on mammoplasties. When required, they allow resect…

[BACKGROUND] The current retrospective study was intended to obtain up-to-date and comprehensive data on surgical practice for breast cancer throughout France, including neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and the more recent surgical techniques…

[BACKGROUND] Oncoplastic surgical techniques offer an option of breast conserving surgery for larger tumors with the use of glandular reshaping to prevent postoperative deformity. A technique for the excision of lower inner quadrant tumors …

[BACKGROUND] The majority of published techniques for oncoplastic surgery rely on an inverted-T mammoplasty, independent of tumour location. These techniques, although useful, cannot be adapted to all situations. A quadrant-per-quadrant atl…

[BACKGROUND] Oncoplastic surgery (OPS) has emerged as a new approach for extending breast conserving surgery (BCS) possibilities, reducing both mastectomy and re-excision rates, while avoiding breast deformities. OPS is based upon the integ…

Most patients presenting with breast cancer are treated by breast conserving treatment (BCT). Some of these patients present with poor cosmetic results and ask for partial breast reconstruction. These reconstructions following BCT are prese…

The long cosmetic outcome of breast implant reconstruction is unknown. The morbidity and cosmetic outcome of 360 patients who underwent immediate breast reconstruction with various types of implant has been prospectively analysed over a 10-…

[OBJECTIVE] To assess the oncologic and cosmetic outcomes in women with breast carcinoma who were treated with breast-conserving therapy using oncoplastic techniques with concomitant symmetrization of the contralateral breast. [SUMMARY BAC…

The long-term cosmetic outcome of breast implant reconstruction is unknown. The morbidity and cosmetic outcome of 360 patients who underwent immediate postmastectomy breast reconstruction with various types of implants have been analyzed pr…

In many cases, breast deformity caused by partial mastectomy can be reduced or corrected by plastic surgery. Partial breast reconstruction is best performed immediately after the partial mastectomy using an approach determined by the size o…

[AIMS] This series analyses the results of conservative surgery for large lower pole breast cancers by lumpectomy associated with a bilateral remodelling mammoplasty, in order to avoid residual deformities. [METHODS] This retrospective stu…

After conservative treatment for breast cancer, 75% of patients have good cosmetic results, but 20 to 25% of patients have a fair or a bad result. The tumor itself is responsible for some of these bad results (tumor volume, location in the …

Conservative radio-surgical treatment of breast neoplasms is often responsible for poor cosmetic results when the tumor is located in the lower quadrants. Since 1986, ten patients with such a tumor were treated at the Curie Institute by a c…
