Choosing the right surgical options is vital for young breast cancer patients. Age definitions can influence treatment choices. Key focusses include breast conservation and managing local recurrence risks. Imaging techniques like mammography and MRI play a crucial role in diagnosis. Preoperative considerations involve treatment options and chemotherapy responses. Genetic testing is essential for informed decisions, and risk-reducing surgeries prioritise patient quality of life. Axillary management also requires careful staging.
