Abstract: Objective:To evaluate the clinical effects of oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery on patients with early breast can -cer near the mammary areola.Methods:A total of 60patients with early breast cancer underwent breast-conserving surgery in the Sec-ond Department of Breast Surgery, Tangshan People's Hospital from February2011 to November 2013. These patients were random-ized into two groups, namely, the experimental Group A ( n=30) and the control Group B (n=30). Oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery was performed on the patients in Group A, whereas Group B underwent standard breast-conserving surgery. The specimen weight of the locally excised breast, the nearest distance of the tumor to the surgical margins, and the postoperative cosmetic result of the affected breast were compared between the two groups. Results: The specimen weights of the locally excised breast were 71.03± 12.92and 41.53± 7.13g, and the nearest distances of the tumor to the surgical margins were 13.30± 2.97and 10.63± 1.65mm in Groups A and B, respectively, with significant differences between the two groups ( P<0.05). The postoperative satisfaction rates of the affected breast were 93.33% and 83.33% in Groups A and B, respectively, without any significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05). Con -clusion: A larger amount of excised breast tissue and a wider scope of surgical margins were observed in Group A patients. However, the postoperative cosmetic result of the affected breast was almost similar for both groups. Therefore, oncoplastic breast-conserving sur -gery is a feasible and effective approach for early breast cancer patients.
