Abstract

Conservative surgery is defined as a type of surgery to remove the cancer while conserving as much normal tissue as possible. The amount of breast that is removed depends on the size and location of the tumor and other factors such as the histological type and its degree of metastasis. Often, it is an option for a woman with early stage cancer, which allows to retain most of the breast morphology.(1) Problem. Breast neoplasms are a growing problem of public health, it is well known that in cancer treatment can be as harmful as the disease. We are constantly searching for new therapeutic alternatives that are less harmful to the patient. Within this search, conservative surgery emerges as an alternative with a favorable prognosis, fewer recurrences and fewer adverse effects for the patient. Type Of Study. Observational descriptive, prevalence study cross section. Objective. To determine the prevalence of recurrence of cellular malignancy in patients diagnosed with breast cancer after being operated on with conservative surgery. Results The prevalence of cancer recurrence after conservative surgery in our study was 21.9%. This prevalence of recurrence according to the type of conservative surgery was 28.7% for quadrantectomy; and 26.6% for lumpectomy respectively. Conclusion. We have verified that conservative surgery is an excellent option since it has shown a high survival rate and little recurrence.
