The paper describes different manoeuvres and surgical details that may help the general surgeon to improve the aesthetic outcomes after breast-conserving treatment for cancer. Among them, the pre-operative planning, the position of the patient in the operative room, the mobilisation of the glandular tissue when the tumour has been removed. All these manoeuvres contribute to achieving better symmetry with the healthy breast and to improve the final aesthetic result, minimising the surgical conflict between large resections and defects for optimal control of local disease and the consequent breast deformities.

Background: Male breast cancer (MBC) is a rare disease, accounting for 1% of all breast cancers diagnosed in the United States. The rarity of MBC has limited the development of treatment algorithms specific to men. Thus, the standard of care has been mastectomy.

Background: Breast conservation therapy for patients with DCIS includes breast conserving surgery (BCS) with post-operative radiotherapy (RT). Because RT does not impact overall survival, identifying women who do not benefit from RT would allow de-escalation of therapy. We evaluated the impact of a novel 7-gene DCIS biosignature on adjuvant radiation recommendations for patients undergoing BCS for DCIS.

Breast-conserving surgery accompanied by adjuvant radiotherapy is the standard of care for patients with early-stage breast cancer. However, re-excision is reported in 20-30 % of cases, largely because of close or involved tumor margins in the specimen. Several intraoperative tumor margin assessment techniques have been proposed to overcome this issue, however, none have been widely adopted.

The use of routine adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is controversial in elderly patients with early-stage breast cancer (EBC). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of adjuvant RT for elderly EBC patients using deep learning (DL) to personalize treatment plans. Five distinct DL models were developed to generate personalized treatment recommendations.

Introduction: Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) accounts for 5 % of new breast cancer diagnoses in developed countries and 30-60 % in developing regions. Historically, treatment relied on mastectomy guided by the Halstedian theory. Advances in neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), breast-conserving surgery (BCS), and radiation have transformed treatment into a multimodal approach.
