Abstract:There is no difference between breast conserving surgery (BCS) combined with radiotherapy and radical surgery in outcomes. However, comparing with the radical surgery, BCS has little trauma, less bleeding and lower infection rate, which makes patients′ quality of life improved. In the practice of BCS, due to the disease, patients, physicians, socioeconomic, clinical, security and many other factors, there are still many controversial issuesin the doctorpatient communication, socioeconomic, aesthetic, margins width, precision operation procedures of BCS. At the same time, new surgical techniques such as plastic breast conserving surgery, and new intraoperative assessment equipment such as MarginProbe system and other new technology development has brought us new ideas to solve these problems.
