Abstract

Martin Paul

The field of breast cancer treatment is characterized by a continuous stream of innovation, all aimed at improving patient outcomes while simultaneously addressing both the visual and cancer-related aspects of the disease. Within this context, oncoplastic surgery has emerged as a revolutionary approach that harmonizes the principles of oncology with the artistic finesse of plastic surgery. This article takes an in-depth look at the notable strides made by oncoplastic surgery, underscoring its established oncological safety in contrast to traditional breast-conserving procedures. It also highlights its remarkable influence on achieving favorable surgical margins, minimizing the need for additional surgeries and effectively managing intricate cases. At the core of any surgical strategy for breast cancer lies its fundamental commitment to oncological safety.
