Abstract

Since the development of the Halstead radical mastectomy more than 120 years ago, great strides have been made in the surgical management of breast cancer. Many breast cancers are detected at an early stage, and are often treated by breast conservation. Recent surgical advances and popularization of oncoplastic techniques have evolved, further improving the cosmetic outcome after lumpectomy. This chapter will review the role of surgery in the treatment of invasive breast cancer.
