&NA; The incidence of breast cancer is increasing each year. Concomitantly, cosmetic breast augmentation has become the second most often performed cosmetic surgical procedure. As the augmented patient population ages, an increasing number of breast cancer cases among previously augmented women can be anticipated. The surgical treatment of these patients is controversial, with several questions remaining unanswered. Is breast conservation therapy feasible in this patient population and can…

A retrospective review of the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of 12 augmented patients from 1998 to 2004 who developed breast cancer suggests a tendency toward delayed diagnosis in augmented women relative to age‐matched controls, but this did not appear to influence the overall prognosis.

A retrospective review was performed of one surgeon’s experience with 40 consecutive patients who had undergone two-stage saline-filled implant breast reconstruction and radiation during the period from 1990 through 1997, finding the possibility for radiation should be thoroughly investigated and anticipated preoperatively before immediate breast reconstruction.

The observations through eight years are consistent with the findings at five years and that these new findings continue to support the use of lumpectomy in patients with Stage I or II breast cancer, and it is concluded that irradiation reduces the probability of local recurrence of tumor in patients treated with Lumpectomy.
