Brief Summary

Many studies focusing on breast conserving surgery have affirmed the cosmetic effectiveness and oncologic success of oncoplastic methods and even modified variants of these methods reinforced with videoscopic applications. However, primary lumpectomy subjects in these studies are mainly patients who have already received the diagnosis of malignancy before the surgery. There is not much comprehensive work reported for patients without the diagnosis of malignancy. In this regard, the investigators believe the intent of the innovative oncoplastic intervention to the breast is underestimated in terms of providing diagnosis simultaneously constituting the basic component of surgical treatment. Thus, the purpose of this prospectively planned study is to provide and investigate the outcomes of an evidence-based oncoplastic approach algorithm for excisional breast biopsies.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Harris scale for the cosmetic result.

    Patient, surgeon and professional third party observers rate cosmetic results (in terms of color, symmetry, contour and general cosmetic outcome) on a four-point scale: (4) excellent-treated breast nearly identical to untreated breast; (3) good-treated breast slightly different from untreated; (2) fair-treated breast clearly different from untreated but not seriously distorted; (1) poor- treated breast seriously distorted.

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Surgical margin positivity for malignancy

    Approximately 2 weeks

  • Radiologic assessment of surgical margins

    Intraoperatively assessed

  • Morbidity

    3 months

  • Reoperations

    3 months

  • Breast Size

    Preoperatively assessed

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients who are decided to be suitable for excisional breast biopsy.
  • Nonpalpable breast lesions suspicious for malignancy where less-invasive approach like fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNA), core cutting needle (trucut) biopsy or vacuum-assisted core biopsy can not provide sufficient diagnostic efficiency for the diagnosis.
  • Palpable breast lesions when a sufficiently precise diagnosis cannot be reached after practicing less-invasive protocols.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients who are decided to be suitable for mastectomy included protocols as the primary surgery.
  • Patients who have previously had breast surgery.
  • Patients who refused excisional breast biopsy.
  • Patients who do not want to be photographed for cosmetic evaluations.
  • Patients diagnosed with secondary suspicious breast lesions necessitating surgical intervention during the follow-up period.
  • Presence of probable multicentric lesions.
  • Refusal of the patient to participate in the study for any reason.
  • Aberrations in the normal development and involution of the breast
  • Injury or trauma history of the breast resulted in deformity.
