Abstract
Objective:
Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) has constantly evolved and recently involves many new facets in the form of SLNB, breast oncoplastic surgery, and brachytherapy. Breast surgeons are required to constantly unlearn and learn to keep abreast with the new guidelines. We aimed to study the Indian surgeons’ perspective about BCS.
Participants:
We mailed a questionnaire containing 20 questions regarding various aspects of BCS to 1200 surgeons. of these, 112 surgeons (40 endocrine surgeons, 40 surgical oncologists, and 32 general surgeons) responded.
Results:
We found that surgeons in the 31 to 40-year age group, surgeons with superspecialty training, surgeons working in private setup, and high-volume surgeons (>100 cases/year) were performing more BCS.
Conclusion:
Indian surgeons should have more robust training in BCS to increase the rates of BCS in India.
