Abstract: The role of the surgeon managing breast diseases has been the subject of continuous evolution, moving from the cancer-extirpative surgeon to a deeply informed surgical leader, who interacts in a multidisciplinary setting also encompassing tasks for risk assessment, genetic counselling, and new diagnostic approaches. Surgical removal of the tumour remains the cornerstone in treating early stage breast cancer. During the last century, breast cancer surgery became less radical, breast-conserving treatment emerged, and the role of axillary lymphadenectomy changed from a therapeutic procedure into a staging procedure with prognostic implications. Later, the sentinel node concept reduced the need for complete axillary clearance in most cases. Nowadays, thanks to breast-conserving surgery, oncoplastic techniques, and reconstructive procedures, most breast cancer patients can overcome this disease without serious permanent physical mutilation. A multidisciplinary approach, benchmarking, and quality assurance have improved outcomes markedly.

Multifocal multicentric breast cancer has traditionally been considered a contraindication to breast conserving surgery because of concerns regarding locoregional control and risk of disease recurrence. However, the evidence supporting this practice is limited. Increasingly, many breast surgeons are advocating breast conservation in selected cases. This short narrative review summarises current evidence on the role of surgery in multifocal multicentric breast cancer and shows that when technically feasible the option of breast conservation is oncologically safe.

Breast angiosarcomas (BAs) are rare but serious events that may arise after radiation exposure. Disease outcome is poor, with high risk of local and distant failure. Recurrences are frequent also after resection with negative margins. The spectrum of vascular proliferations associated with radiotherapy in the setting of breast cancer has expanded, including radiation-associated atypical vascular lesions (AVLs) of the breast skin as a rare, but well-recognized, entity. Although pursuing a benign behavior, AVLs have been regarded as possible precursors of postradiation BAs. We report an unusual case of a 71-year-old woman affected by well-differentiated bilateral cutaneous BA, diagnosed 1.9 years after adjuvant RT for synchronous bilateral breast cancer. Whole-life clinical followup is of crucial importance in breast cancer patients.

The problem of primary multiplicity of malignant tumors remains actual in oncology due to growing number of patients with polyneoplasia especially of the breast. Modern genetic studies use “genetically enriched” cases of cancer, which include in particular primary-multiple malignant tumors of the breast. Practically every tumor has an individual set of somatic mutations and genetic mechanisms of breast cancer appearance are very different. The multicentre study shows the role of recessive determinants of the predisposition to bilateral breast cancer without a family history. The obtained data could be used in clinical practice as a secondary prevention of breast cancer.
