Abstract

Abstract: Oncoplastic breast surgery (OBS) improves margin clearance and produces good esthetic outcome in breast cancer treatment. This study evaluates the complications and outcome of OBS in a multiracial patient cohort. Data of 421 patients between 2011 and 2018 were analyzed. The majority were Malays (41.8%), followed by Chinese (39.7%) and Indians (16.8%). Low local complications were noted, with no significant differences in disease‐free survival ( P = .927) and overall survival ( P = .719) between low and high OBS levels. Shared decision‐making in offering OBS for Asian women has potential to become a practical option in breast cancer treatment.
