Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Breast cancer remains a significant health challenge globally, and surgical treatment plays a crucial role in its management. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements, techniques, and controversies in the surgical management of breast tumors.

Through a combination of original research articles, reviews, etc., this Special Issue aims to delve into the various aspects of breast cancer surgery, including breast-conserving surgery in selected patients, conservative mastectomy and prepectoral breast reconstruction, minimally invasive surgery, oncoplastic techniques, axillary lymph node de-escalation treatment, intraoperative imaging margin assessment, and the management of lesions of uncertain malignant potential in the breast (B3).

Additionally, we aim to explore the emerging trends in surgical oncology, such as minimally invasive approaches, targeted therapies, and personalized treatment strategies with a focus on controversial situations.

Therefore, researchers in the field of breast surgery, breast oncology, and surgical oncology are encouraged to submit and share their insights, experiences, and innovations in breast cancer surgery.

Background: Oncoplastic surgery (OPS) reliability in the post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) setting is still debated due to weak scientific evidences in such scenarios. Methods: Our analysis aims to report results obtained in a retrospective series of 111 patients consecutively treated with level II OPS after NACT at the Multidisciplinary Breast Center of the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS between 1998 and 2018. The surgical endpoints were the mean specimen volume, rates of positive margins (PMR), re-excision (RR), conversion to mastectomy (CMR), and complications (CR). The oncological endpoints were overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and local recurrence (LR). To evaluate the impact of NACT on surgical and oncological outcomes at 302 months, we conducted a propensity score matching, pairing patients in post-NACT and upfront surgery groups. Results: The mean sample volume was 390,796 mm3. We registered a 3.6% of PMR, 1.8% RR, 0.9% CMR, 5% CR. The 10-year OS and 10-year DFS with a median follow-up of 88 months (6-302) were 79% and 76%, respectively, with an LR recurrence rate of 5%. The post-NACT group received significantly larger excised volumes and lower PMR. NACT did not affect surgical and oncological outcomes. Conclusions: Level II OPS can be considered a reliable alternative to mastectomy even in the post-NACT setting. Full article
