Abstract

Surgical treatment for breast cancer has remained the primary modality for locoregional treatment, except in the case of locally advanced breast cancer. The surgical treatment is aimed at removing the tumor, achieving local control of the disease and obtaining enough tissue for pathohistological diagnosis and evaluation of breast cancer hormone receptor status. The assessment of local spread of the disease is of the utmost importance for surgical decision making.

Keywords
