Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the treatment of breast cancer has developed significantly, focusing on conservative surgical strategies, robotic-assisted surgery, and male breast cancer evaluation as well as care.
Conservative surgery aims to remove tumors while preserving as much healthy breast tissue as possible. In breast cancer procedures, robotic surgery is increasingly employed; it offers the possibility of enhanced precision and minimally invasive techniques, making small incisions and scarring, reducing recovery time, and, finally, improving the comfort and outcomes of patients. Male breast cancer presents many challenges. Because of its rarity, awareness and education about this male cancer are essential to ensure early detection as well as diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
This Special Issue aims to summarize the most promising clinical and technical applications/improvements in breast conservative surgery and robotic techniques. The importance of early diagnoses and tailored treatments in male breast cancer will also be underlined.
In this Special Issue we will insert original articles, case reports, and reviews focusing on conservative strategies and robotic techniques in breast cancer surgery, as well as novel insights into male breast cancer.
