Abstract:

With the new trend of oncoplastic surgery and breast reconstruction in China and the emergence of new evidence-based medical data, expert of Chinese Anti-Cancer Association, Committee of Breast Cancer Society convened domestic clinical experts in the field of breast cancer treatment, including breast surgeons, plastic surgeons, oncologist, radiologist and pathologist, who jointly discussed and formulated the “expert consensus on oncoplastic surgery of breast tumor and breast reconstruction (2022 edition)” on the basis of the 2018 edition. In the 2022 version, endoscopic breast reconstruction, prepectoral breast reconstruction and case management of breast reconstruction were added. Besides, the original nipple-sparing mastectomy chapter was replaced by conservative mastectomy. The consensus also elaborated the prepectoral breast reconstruction and deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap (DIEP) surgery. It is believed that this update will help hospitals at all levels to improve the ability of oncoplastic surgery and breast reconstruction, improve the standardization of treatment, optimize the treatment outcome, and ultimately improve patient satisfaction.
