“…The absence of a national-level screening program also contributes to a significant proportion of patients being diagnosed at advanced stages with considerably large tumor volume ( 19 ). Furthermore, breast sizes among Vietnamese and Asian women are smaller than their European and American counterparts ( 3 , 20 ). These factors contribute to the challenges in achieving higher breast-conservation rate in Vietnam.…”

“…Most breast cancer patients present with invasive disease and relatively large tumor sizes ( 2 ). Furthermore, the average breast volume in Vietnamese women is approximately 399ml, smaller than that of Western women ( 3 ), posing challenges for breast-conserving surgery and emphasizing the importance of level 2 OPS techniques. Various clinical trials have demonstrated that breast-conserving surgery combined with radiotherapy resulted in equivalent disease-free survival and an overall survival rates to that of total mastectomy in early-stage breast cancer ( 4 - 6 ) while brought better quality of life ( 7 , 8 ).…”

Background: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy and remains the first cause of death related to cancer among Vietnamese women, with an incidence of 21,555 cases in 2020. Most breast cancer patients present with invasive disease and relatively large tumor sizes. While oncoplastic surgery (OPS) are commonly applied in Western countries, data on Asian population remains relatively limited. Objective: This study aims to assess the outcomes of level-2 oncoplastic techniques in breast-conserving surgeries at the Vietnam National Cancer Hospital. Methods: From January 2017 to June 2021, a cohort of 257 breast cancer patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery with OPS techniques were examined. Surgical complications, cosmetic outcome, recurrence and survival rates were assessed. Results: The mean age was 47.6±9.4 years, most patients had breast cup sizes B and C. The mean tumor size upon pathological examination was 2.00 ± 0.74 cm. Only 7 cases required reoperation, resulting in a mastectomy rate of 1.17%. The overall complication rate was low at 11.46%, with 9 cases (3.56%) experiencing delayed complications. Cosmetic results were rated as “excellent” in 20.6% and “good” in 60.5%, with a statistically significant difference. The rates of local recurrence, regional recurrence, and distant metastasis at five years were 2.78%, 1.19%, and 2.36%, respectively. Conclusion: The level 2 oncoplastic techniques had low complication rates, favorable oncological outcomes, and cosmetically satisfying results.
