Abstract
Breast-conserving surgery, also known as BCS, is both oncologically and surgically safe and has a long term survival rate in comparison to modified radical mastectomy. BCS can be performed with a simple wide excision or with variant levels of oncoplastic surgical techniques. There are many factors that can affect aesthetic outcomes, these factors are either both patient-related or surgeon-related, however the volume of breast tissue that needs to be excised is the most important factor.
To assess the feasibility and the safety of wide local excision in patient that have multifocal breast cancer using wire clip bracketing.
The Population was female patients with multifocal breast cancer at Breast unit general surgery department, Ain shams university.
The mean size of tumors were 2.2 ± 1.1 mm according to mastographic characteristics, There were 55.0% with Non-palpable masses, 45.0 % with Palpable. 40% Positive LNs, we had 100% free resection margins with least resection margin being 0.8 cm as we confirmed all margins intraoperative with frozen section, 13 patients (65%) got excellent degree of satisfaction with the post-operative cosmetic outcome of our surgical procedure, 4 patients (20%) got good degree and 3 patient (15%) got fair degree of satisfaction.
Wide local Excision using the wire bracketing technique leads to more optimal resection volumes for multifocal breast cancer without compromising margin status with good aesthetic outcomes.
