Abstract

An extensive histopathological diagnosis-in the best way with intraoperative frozen section-is the basis for the actual surgical therapy of the breast cancer. The surgical treatment of breast cancer depends on the specific histopathological subclassification, distance of the tumor from the resection margin and reference to multifocality or multicentricity are the data for the individual therapy. Depending on the age and the above named criteria the operative treatment of the breast cancer will not be simply the mastectomy and lymphadenectomy, there are more surgical possibilities.
