Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) has been increasingly applied in the management of early-stage breast cancer due to its oncologic outcomes comparable to total mastectomy, while improving cosmetic results and reducing complication rates. Objectives: To describe clinical and paraclinical characteristics and evaluate early results of breast-conserving surgery for stage I and II breast carcinoma at Can Tho City Oncology Hospital. Materials and methods: A prospective interventional clinical study was conducted on 46 patients with stage I–II breast carcinoma treated with BCS at Can Tho Oncology Hospital. Results: The mean patient age was 48.4 and the mean tumor size was 2.2 cm. Tumors were located in the left breast 54.3%, predominantly in the upper outer quadrant (69.6%), and all were unifocal. Postoperative histopathology revealed invasive carcinoma of no special type in 97.8%, with grade 2 in 95.7%, negative lymphovascular invasion (67.4%), and no axillary lymph node metastasis in 69.6%. Immunohistochemistry showed hormone receptor positivity in 54.3%, HER2 negativity in 82.6%, and Ki67 ≥ 20% in 54.3%. The mean operative time was 103 minutes. Surgical techniques included wide local excision with primary closure (13%), glandular tissue flap (56.5%), and pedicled skin flap (30.5%). Postoperative complications occurred in 15.1%, with hematoma (4.3%), partial flap necrosis (4.3%) and infection (6.5%). Good and excellent cosmetic outcomes were achieved in 93.5%, and 91.3% reported satisfaction with their treatment. Conclusion: Breast-conserving surgery for early-stage breast cancer ensures oncologic safety while providing optimal cosmetic outcomes and high patient satisfaction.
