This systematic review with meta‐analysis addressed late locoregional complications associated with adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) in breast cancer. Among 2120 titles, ten comparative studies in patients undergoing surgery vs surgery and radiotherapy reporting complications were evaluated. RT was associated with an increased risk of capsular contracture and decreased the mobility of the upper limb. A borderline association of lymphedema risk using RT was noted in the random‐effects model but was significant in the fixed‐effects model.

“…Patients with metastatic disease, those with recurrence, those under chemotherapeutic treatment, those with bilateral or male breast cancer, and those with a high number of comorbidities were excluded. This series was described in a previous study that validated the Breast Cancer Treatment Outcome Scale (BCTOS) questionnaire and sought to evaluate its global aspects [24]. In contrast, the present study aimed to evaluate aspects exclusively related to BCT-OS.…”

Background: Breast-conserving treatment (BCT) provides better quality of life (QL) than mastectomy without reconstruction. Oncoplastic surgery (OS) encompasses a series of surgical techniques, increasing the indications for BCT, but few studies have evaluated the impact on QL in patients who undergo BCT with OS. Materials and Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted in women who underwent BCT. We evaluated the characteristics of patients who underwent BCT with and without OS and the associated QL. QL was assessed through the EORTC QLQ-30, EORTC QLQ-BR23, and Breast Cancer Treatment Outcome Scale (BCTOS) questionnaires. Results: A total of 300 patients underwent BCT, 72 underwent breast OS, and 37 underwent bilateral surgery. Patients who underwent OS were younger (p = 0.004), had a higher level of education (p = 0.01), had a smaller time interval since the end of treatment (p = 0.02), had tumours with greater dimensions (p = 0.003), and were more likely to receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy (p = 0.05). Based on the QL questionnaires, no difference was observed between the groups. Breast symmetry was not associated with high patient satisfaction (p = 0.55). Conclusion: Despite the fact that OS was performed in patients with worse tumour conditions and in more demanding patients, OS allowed similar cosmetic results to classical BCT.
