Long-term Oncologic Outcome of Breast-conserving Surgery in Breast Cancer Patients With BRCA1/2 Mutations

Breast-conserving surgery, also known as breast-conserving therapy or lumpectomy, is a surgical procedure used to treat breast cancer while preserving as much of the breast tissue as possible. During this procedure, the surgeon removes the cancerous tumor along with a surrounding margin of normal tissue. The goal is to remove the cancerous cells while maintaining the appearance and function of the breast as much as possible.
