Breast conservation and oncoplastic surgery are associated with improved quality of life
Breast-conserving surgery is associated with better quality of life than mastectomy. Additionally, oncoplastic surgery is associated with a better quality of life than standard breast-conserving surgery. Patients should be counseled whenever multiple options for surgery are possible, and efforts should be made to increase the availability of trained surgeons in oncoplastic techniques.
