title: [Plastic surgery and the treatment of breast cancer].
abstract: For many patients conservative treatments are available at the present time in case of breast cancer. Nevertheless, radical mastectomy is to be performed in a few cases. Breast reconstruction is then able, when required by the patient, to improve her quality of life. This present study aims to discuss both the technical modalities and the indications of this type of reconstructive surgery.
