Oncoplastic breast conserving surgery is a good approach for large-breasted women with breast cancer, as it increases the rate of breast conserving surgery, improves cosmetic results and prevents both cosmetic sequelae and the symptoms associated with macromastia. We reviewed ten publications in which 276 patients had been treated with bilateral reduction mammaplasty. All showed the same conclusion: women with breast cancer and macromastia candidates for breast conserving surgery could obtain clear oncological and cosmetic advantages and an improvement in quality of life if they were treated using bilateral reduction onco-therapeutic mammaplasty.
