Abstract

Breast conservation therapy (BCT) has become an increasingly popular treatment for breast cancer. Unfortunately, many women who undergo BCT will have a deformity that may require surgical correction. The field of oncoplastics has also become increasingly popular and seeks to prevent these contour deformities during BCT. This review approaches oncoplastic reconstruction by outlining different techniques based on tumor location.
