Overview
Breast-conserving Therapy (BCT) is a surgical procedure used to treat early-stage breast cancer. It involves removing the cancer in the breast while preserving the tissue and shape of the breast. This treatment is effective in decreasing the risk of cancer recurrence while providing a more natural-looking breast after surgery. It is generally used in combination with radiation therapy to improve the patient's long-term prognosis. BCT can also improve overall quality of life after treatment, as many patients report improved self-esteem and better body image.
