%X 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.
