This book covers an up-to-date
review of advances in the management strategies for patients with
breast cancer and their co-morbidities. Oncoplasty has become the
standard of care for breast conservation surgery and can lead to
improving aesthetic outcomes of breast cancer surgery, without
compromising oncological outcomes. The goal of the text is to increase
the competencies and performance of healthcare professionals involved
in treating this patient population, which will ultimately improve the
aesthetic outcomes, quality of life and overall survival of patients
with breast disease and breast cancer. Written by experts in the field,
chapters address a wide range of breast surgery techniques that help
the general surgeon provide improved oncologic and aesthetic results
for patients. The authors have detailed not only best practice for
conventional procedures but also new and evolving techniques.
Oncoplastic
Breast Surgery Techniques for the General Surgeon serves as a valuable
resource not only for medical students but also for the general surgeon
seeking to improve results in private practice and for professors
learning and teaching new breast surgery techniques.
