【 摘 要 】

With the objective of assessing the importance of the conservative surgery to treat breast cancer, an extensive review was made on the various studies about this procedure, both national and international; they must have good casuistry and be well designed from a methodological viewpoint. This disease with an increasing chronic nature is a frequent health problem that brings about significant body alterations and psychosocial effect, since it has a negative impact on the female self-esteem. After this review, it was concluded that the conservative surgery is the treatment of choice for the I and II stage breast cancer patients because it allows satisfactory local control with smaller mutilation, without changing either the survival rate or the distant metastasis index. Therefore, conservative surgery must be generalized so that a higher number of females can benefit from it.
