Breast-conserving surgery followed by radiotherapy is recommended in most women with early-stage unilateral breast cancer. However, its role in contralateral breast cancer (CBC) patients remains unclear. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) outcomes after breast-conserving surgery plus radiotherapy compared with mastectomy in women with early-stage (T1-2N0-1M0) CBC.
