Organ-сonserving operations in breast cancer include performing extended sectoral resections with regional lymphadenectomy. In the case of these interventions, immediate histological examination of the safe margins and subareolar area will be mandatory. Overly economical tactics are associated with the risk of breast cancer recurrence. Organ-preserving breast cancer surgeries, supplemented with radiation therapy, are a safe alternative to mastectomy with the correct selection of patients with early forms.
