PY - 2018 T2 - Textbook of Complex General Surgical Oncology AB - Surgical resection was the principal therapy for breast cancer for centuries. However, over the past 30 years, as therapeutic interventions have been modified and outcomes have been studied, aggressiveness of the procedures has substantially been reduced. Currently, large chest wall resections and reconstructions are offered only to select patients with locoregional disease. This chapter evaluates the indications and contraindications for this operation, discusses procedural technique, and reviews the complications.
