AbstractThe role of breast conservation in patients expressing BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic mutations is controversial. A patient who was found to have bilateral synchronous breast cancers and expressed a BRCA genetic mutation was recently evaluated. The patient had a strong desire for breast preservation. This case and a review of the pertinent literature are presented to discuss the role of breast conservation and radiation in patients with BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic mutations.

Breast conservation surgery is available to the vast majority of women with breast cancer. The combination of neoadjuvant therapies and oncoplastic surgical techniques allows even large tumours to be managed with a breast-conserving approach. The relationship between breast size and the volume of tissue to be excised determines the need for volume displacement or replacement. Such an approach can also be used in the management of carefully selected cases of multifocal or multicentric breast cancer. The role of novel techniques, such as endoscopic breast surgery and radiofrequency ablation, is yet to be precisely defined.
