[Surgical and plastic reconstructive therapy of breast carcinoma].
Breast conserving surgery is the therapy of choice in breast cancer patients and may avoid mastectomy in most of the patients. New treatment options such as sentinel lymph node biopsy may avoid complete axillary dissection in selective patients. Plastic reconstructive procedures like immediate reconstruction or oncoplastic surgery decrease physical sequelae and increase the quality of life and should be offered to all breast cancer patients: Modern breast cancer management requires intense cooperation of all cancer subdisciplines.
