What Changes are Mandatory in Breast Surgery Training? An International Survey and Recommendations of the French Academy of Surgery and the Senologic International Society
High-volume centers and specialized surgeons consistently demonstrated improved outcomes, including lower mortality and recurrence rates for patients treated for breast cancer. Rising breast cancer incidence, combined with advances in surgical and multidisciplinary care, highlights the urgency for standardized training. Evidence shows that structured programs with volume thresholds, multidisciplinary approach, and modern surgical techniques improve patient survival and satisfaction. The survey underscores the need for international guidelines to ensure equitable, high-quality care. SIS and FNAS recommend a standardized breast surgery education framework with ten actionable proposals to address disparities, optimize training, and enhance global care quality.
