Endoscopic breast conservation surgery for early-stage invasive carcinoma: a case report-first case from India

This case report features a 60-year-old woman found during regular mammographic screening to have early-stage invasive tubular carcinoma. She had sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) combined with endoscopic breast conservation surgery (EBCS). The operation was successfully carried out with great cosmetic results, little postoperative pain, and no instant side effects. Histopathological analysis confirmed invasive tubular carcinoma with negative margins and a tumor-free sentinel node. In suitably chosen patients, this case shows EBCS's viability, safety, and oncological adequacy. While observing oncological standards, it also highlights the possible advantages of minimally invasive methods in breast cancer surgery, such improved cosmetic results, lower morbidity, and greater patient satisfaction.
