Magnetic Resonance Imaging prediction of large volume displacement oncoplastic surgery versus mastectomy in the treatment of breast cancer.

CONCLUSION: Preoperative evaluation of TV/BV ratio, tumor location and tumor multifocality/multicentricity could improve treatment decision making (LVOS versus M) in breast cancer patient eligible for both options. Increasing TV/BV ratio and unfavourable tumor location are adversely affecting cosmetic result.
