Purpose: Oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery has been part of clinical routine for several years without an internationally accepted nomenclature, standardization or a systematic evaluation of single surgical procedures.
Methods: We carried out a structured survey of breast surgeons (n = 50) during the annual meeting of the German Society for Senology in Berlin 2017. In the run-up to the event, 10 questions were determined and released for an anonymous survey during the consensus meeting.
Results: Most surgeons participating in the consensus meeting had an expertise of more than 200 oncologic breast surgeries in the last 3 years and approved the need of a higher rate of standardization in oncoplastic techniques. From the oncological standpoint, oncoplastic surgery is considered safe with a comparable rate of compilations as seen in conventional breast-conserving procedures. Most surgeons approve that using oncoplastic surgery, higher rates of breast conservation and improved aesthetic results can be accomplished. The majority of the participants would endorse a more systematic review of subjective aesthetic results in clinical routine.
Conclusions: A higher degree in standardization of oncoplastic breast surgery is required for surgical-technical, educational, and scientific reasons as well as for a more differentiated monetary compensation of the surgical procedures. This process has already been started.

Clinical and patient-reported outcomes in women offered oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery as an alternative to mastectomy: ANTHEM multicentre prospective cohort study.

Background: Oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery may be a better option than mastectomy, but high-quality comparative evidence is lacking. The aim of the ANTHEM study (ISRCTN18238549) was to explore clinical and patient-reported outcomes in a multicentre cohort of women offered oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery as an alternative to mastectomy with or without immediate breast reconstruction.
Methods: Women with invasive/pre-invasive breast cancer who were offered oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery with volume replacement or displacement techniques to avoid mastectomy were recruited prospectively.
Oncoplastic Breast-Conserving Surgery for Upper Inner Quadrant Breast Cancer Using Pedicled Pectoralis Major Myofascial Flap.

Background: Oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery (OBCS) has emerged as a pivotal approach in the management of breast cancer, ensuring both oncological safety and aesthetic outcomes. However, challenges persist, particularly in upper inner quadrant (UIQ) tumors, where achieving satisfactory cosmetic results while preserving oncological integrity remains intricate.
Methods: 15 patients with UIQ breast cancer received OBCS using a pedicled pectoralis major myofascial flap (PMMF).
Purpose: Oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery (OBCS) prevents compromise of breast aesthetics following large breast cancer excisions. This systematic review was conducted to investigate the outcomes (oncologic, surgical, cosmetic) of OBCS versus standard breast-conserving surgery (SBCS) and mastectomy post-neo-adjuvant systemic therapy.

Purpose: To evaluate the 10-year functional and oncological outcomes of single-port laparoscopically harvested omental flap (SLOF) for immediate breast reconstruction after breast cancer surgery. The technical feasibility and oncologic safety of breast reconstruction using a laparoscopically harvested omental flap remain controversial.
Methods: We examined 236 patients with breast cancer (including 2 patients with malignant phyllodes tumors) who underwent nipple-sparing mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery followed by immediate SLOF reconstruction between February 2015 and March 2024 at our institution.
Clinical and patient-reported outcomes after oncoplastic versus conventional breast conserving surgery-a longitudinal, multicenter cohort study.

Background: Oncoplastic breast conserving surgery (OP-BCS) is becoming increasingly popular to avoid mastectomy or optimize cosmetic outcomes of breast conserving surgery (BCS). Few studies have compared clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of OP-BCS to conventional BCS (C-BCS). This study aims to compare clinical outcomes and short and long-term PROs after OP-BCS and C-BCS in a large prospective breast cancer cohort.
