A prosthesis used for partial mastectomy

Abstract

A prosthesis used for partial mastectomy allows for maintaining the natural appearance of the breast without sacrificing the safety margin required for the surgery. In other words, the safety margin does not need to be reduced, and the priority can be placed on the patient's safety by removing the complete safety margin. This approach minimizes the chances of needing additional surgery due to surgical boundaries being too close to the tumor and reduces the likelihood of local recurrence, leading to better disease control.
