2. Oncoplastic breast surgery has increased the scope of breast conserving surgeries by reducing complete breast removal or mastectomy and avoid breast deformities.
3. Conservative Breast Surgery:Breast conserving surgery is also called lumpectomy or partial mastectomy. During this procedure, only the part of the breast that has cancer is removed. This includes the cancer lump and tissue around it.
