Abstract:
the survival of patients with breast cancer has remarkably improved. In particular, oncoplastic breast surgery has gained momentum due to its positive impact on patients' quality of life. Oncoplastic breast conservation surgery and postmastectomy breast reconstruction are the two main branches of this frontier discipline. Although oncoplastic breast surgery gained scholarly attention in China later than in Western countries, considerable development and progress has been made over the last few decades. Here, we aimed to summarize the academic achievements of Chinese oncoplastic surgeons in implant-based breast reconstruction, autologous tissue breast reconstruction, mammoplasty by lipofilling, endoscope-assisted breast reconstruction, and nipple-areola reconstruction. we also summarized patient-reported outcomes. The drawbacks of the current investigations will be discussed along with the directions for future clinical practice and research.
