title: Minimally invasive, maximal outcomes in breast surgery.
abstract: The contemporary treatment of breast cancer has evolved in response to numerous randomised control trials which have aided in the development of guidelines for effective treatment. Breast cancer surgery has progressed thanks in part to the advances made in chemotherapy, radiation therapy and early detection. As these advances continue the field of surgery needs to progress in tandem to maximise survival outcomes but to also minimise morbidity.
