Background

The development of oncoplastic surgical techniques has reshaped the management of multifocal and multicentric breast cancers.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the data from 2,155 patients who underwent breast cancer surgery at a tertiary surgical oncology center between October 2022 and May 2025.

n = 2,155 patients

Results

90%

clear tumor margins on first surgery for most multifocal cancers

n = 2,155 patients

More results

Among 1,253 breast-conserving surgery patients, 5.4% ( n = 68) had multifocal or multicentric disease.

The median age was 55 years.

The overall complication rate was 19%, with reoperation due to complications required in only one patient (1.5%).

Conclusion · 1 of 2

Oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery is a safe and effective option for well-selected patients with multifocal or multicentric breast cancer.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

With modern imaging, multidisciplinary evaluation, and experienced surgical teams, high rates of negative margins and satisfactory cosmetic outcomes can be achieved.
