  • With the increasingly higher requirement of female patients for aesthetics, however, modified radical mastectomy and breast-conserving surgery have been gradually applied in the treatment of breast cancer, which can reduce surgical trauma compared with traditional radical mastectomy [ 5 ]. (ijpsonline.com)
  • However, the breast aesthetics after modified radical mastectomy and the effectiveness of breast-conserving surgery in breast cancer resection remain to be explored. (ijpsonline.com)
  • To solve this problem, 30 early breast cancer patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery and 30 cases undergoing modified radical mastectomy in our hospital from January 2019 to February 2020 were selected to clarify the effects of the two surgical procedures on early breast cancer.
