AB The  surgical  management  of  breast  cancer  has  changed  greatly  since  the  late  1880s  when  Halsted  started  utilizing  radical  mastectomy  for  breast  cancer  treatment.1  Although  this  approach  obtained  local  control,  it  resulted  in  horrible  deformities  and  a  constant  physical  reminder  of  the  cancer  operation  with  numerous  psychological  impacts.  It  was  not  until  the  advent  of  screening  mammograms  that  the  disease  could  be  discovered  in  earlier  stages  and  less  extreme  surgical  interventions  could  be  established.
