What are the advantages of breast conservation surgery?

Key benefits include preservation of natural breast appearance, less extensive surgery, shorter recovery time, equivalent cancer control to mastectomy, better psychological outcomes, maintained body image, and normal breast sensation often preserved.

What is the difference between mastectomy and breast conservation?

The main differences are: Mastectomy removes the entire breast, BCS removes only the tumor and surrounding margin, BCS preserves most of the breast tissue, BCS requires radiation therapy, BCS offers better cosmetic outcomes, and both procedures have similar survival rates for early-stage breast cancer.
