Background.
Recent data shows that the use of breast conservation treatment (BCT) for breast cancer may result in superior outcomes when compared with mastectomy.
However, reported rates of BCT in predominantly Chinese populations are significantly lower than those reported in Western countries.
Low BCT rates may now be a concern as they may translate into suboptimal outcomes.
A study was undertaken to evaluate BCT rates in a cohort of predominantly Chinese women.
Methods.
All patients who underwent surgery on the breast at the authors’ healthcare facility between October 2008 and December 2011 were included in the study and outcomes of treatment were evaluated.
Results.
A total of 171 patients were analysed.
Two-thirds of the patients were of Chinese ethnicity.
One hundred and fifty-six (85.9%) underwent BCT.
Ninety-eight of 114 Chinese women (86%) underwent BCT.
There was no difference in the proportion of women undergoing BCT based on ethnicity.
After a median of 49 months of follow-up, three patients (1.8%) had local recurrence and 5 patients (2.9%) suffered distant metastasis.
Four patients (2.3%) have died from their disease.
Conclusion.
BCT rates exceeding 80% in a predominantly Chinese population are possible with acceptable local and distant control rates, thereby minimising unnecessary mastectomies.
