Oncologic Safety of Immediate Breast Reconstruction: A Single-Center Retrospective Review of 138 Patients

Conclusions Patients had a low incidence of cancer recurrence in this review. Immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy had no negative impact on recurrence or patient survival, even in patients with advanced disease. The study findings suggest that mastectomy associated with IBR can be a safe surgical option for patients with invasive and noninvasive breast cancers. Longer follow-ups are needed to confirm these preliminary results.
