    Abstract

    Increasing acceptance of conservative therapy for early breast cancer has made the cosmetic outcome of the treated breast an important endpoint for evaluation. A number of interrelated patient, tumor, and treatment factors will determine the ultimate cosmetic outcome. Attention to surgical and radiotherapeutic technique should lead to good to excellent overall cosmetic results in the majority of patients.
