ABSTRACT: Introduction: Breast cancer is currently the most common malignant tumour in women
worldwide. Objective: To evaluate conservative treatment of breast
cancer and oncoplasty at the teaching hospital Mother and Child of Jeanne Ebori
Foundation (CHUMEFJE). Patients and methods: This is an
observational, descriptive study, which took place from August 2019 to December
2021 at CHUMEFJE. Data were collected using patients’ medical records, and
operative and pathological anatomy reports. Results: Conservative
treatment and oncoplasty were performed in 12 (34.2%) patients. Of these
patients, 8 (66.7%) benefited from an external technique and 2 (16.7%) from a
pamectomy. Post-operative complications were dominated by lymphocele in 5 (41.6%) patients. Ten (83.3%) patients were
satisfied with the post-operative aesthetic result. At the time of
updating the records, 1 (8.3%) patient had died and 11 (91.7%) were alive. Conclusion: Conservative treatment and oncoplasty are giving satisfactory results at the
CHUMEFJE in Libreville.
