Abstract
Breast cancer remains the most common malignancy for women in the UK and the leading cause of death for women aged 34-54 years. Since the 1990s, the paradigm shift in surgical treatment has been away from mastec-tomy towards breast conservation. This remains the gold standard in appropriate patients in terms of oncological and aesthetic outcomes.
