Zusammenfassung:To analyze a multidisciplinary community experience with oncoplastic breast surgery (OBS) and postoperative radiation therapy (RT). The records of 79 patients with localized breast cancer who underwent OBS+RT were reviewed. OBS included immediate reconstruction and contralateral mammoreduction. All patients had negative surgical margins. Whole-breast RT was delivered without boost. A subset of 44 patients agreed to complete a validated quality of life survey pre-RT, post-RT, 6 months after RT, and at final follow-up assessing cosmesis and treatment satisfaction. Sixty-seven patients (85%) were white. Median age was 62 years. Median interval between OBS and RT start was 9.6 weeks. Median RT dose was 46 Gy. Fourteen patients (18%) developed surgical toxicities before RT. Five patients (6%) developed RT toxicities. Physician rating of cosmesis post-RT was: 3% excellent, 94% good, and 4% fair. Cosmesis was rated as excellent or good by 87% of patients pre-RT, 82% post-RT, 75% at 6 months, and 88% at the final follow-up. Treatment satisfaction was rated as "total" or "somewhat" by 97% of patients pre-RT, 93% post-RT, 75% at 6 months, and 96% at final follow-up. No significant relation was found between patient or treatment-related factors and toxicity. Local control is 100% at median follow-up of 2.9 years. OBS followed by RT resulted in acceptable toxicity and favorable physician-rated cosmesis in this large community series. Patients' ratings of cosmesis and treatment satisfaction were initially high, decreasing at 6 months, returning near baseline at final follow-up.
