Breast-conserving
therapy (BCT) in breast cancer; It describes breast-conserving surgery (BCS)
(e.g. lumpectomy, partial/segmental mastectomy) and radiotherapy (RT) typically
administered for eradication of residual disease. It was developed as an
alternative to mastectomy in patients with early stage breast cancer.
Lumpectomy is the process of surgically removing cancerous or abnormal tissue
from between healthy breast tissue, and it is performed by removing the
abnormal or cancerous tissue along with some healthy tissue circumferentially.
In breast cancer, contraindications rather than indications for BCS are taken
into consideration when deciding on surgery. BCS decision; neoadjuvant
treatment is expanding in proportion to advances in surgical and radiotherapy
techniques and pathological evaluation.
