Abstract

Recent advancements in the surgical management of breast cancer emphasize personalized, minimally invasive techniques to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. Breast-conserving surgery (BCS), often paired with adjuvant therapies, remains a cornerstone for early-stage breast cancer. Innovations such as targeted intraoperative radiotherapy (TARGIT), oncoplastic surgery, and sentinel lymph node biopsy have reduced the need for extensive procedures while maintaining oncological safety. Emerging technologies like 3D imaging, augmented reality, and robotic-assisted surgery enhance precision and cosmetic outcomes. These trends reflect a shift toward individualized care, integrating oncological efficacy with improved aesthetic and functional results.
