Article Synopsis
- Reexcision during breast conservation surgery affects cosmetic outcomes, with studies showing varied results; this analysis aimed to provide clarity using a standard method.
- A cohort of 439 patients was studied, comparing aesthetic results between those who underwent reexcision (80 patients) and those who did not (359 patients), using the Breast Cancer Treatment Outcome Scale (BCTOS).
- Results indicated that patients with reexcision had poorer aesthetic outcomes compared to those with only one surgery, particularly when controlling for variables like tumor invasiveness and size.
