Conservative treatment combining breast saving surgical procedures and radiotherapy, is considered as the best treatment for small breast cancers. The purpose of the study is to define the most appropriate surgical technique in order to reach both the complete resection of the primary and the best cosmetic result. Terms corresponding to the type of resection will be define in order to facilitate the comparison between the different studies on tumorectomies for breast cancer. Technical problems will be analyzed in the light of our experience of the conservative treatment especially in what concerns the cosmetic results.
