  • Title: [Evolution of the surgery of cancer of the breast].
    Author: Salmon RJ.
    Journal: Bull Cancer; 1998 Jun; 85(6):539-43. PubMed ID: 9752281.
    Abstract:
    Multiple technical and strategical improvements have modified surgical management of breast cancer. Screening mamographies are able to focus small tumors in which excision eventually after percutaneous biopsy can necessitate two surgical procedures. Reduction of axillary dissection in these small lesions can benefit from sentinel node biopsy technique. Immediate or delayed breast reconstruction reduces the mutilation of the mastectomies with their psycho-social disaster. Technically these reconstruction requires a multidisciplinary approach and psychological support. These surgical evolutions in parallel with other therapies for breast cancer developed with two major points: necessity of a good local control for cure, multidisciplinary approach which makes surgeons reals oncologists.
