Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women. For early stage breast cancer patients, surgical treatment is still the foundation of local treatment. With background from precision medicine, this article reviews recent hot issues in surgical treat-ment for early stage breast cancer patients. We summarized strategies in surgical treatment, selection of resection range, manage-ment of local lymph nodes, timing of breast reconstruction, and the application of minimally invasive surgery.
