HISTORY OF FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF ONCOMAMMOLOGY

A long historical path has been passed in the fight against breast cancer. However, this nosology still holds a leading position in morbidity and mortality among the female population. The surgical method, despite the success of drug and radiotherapy, still plays a crucial role in the treatment of breast cancer. At the dawn of surgery, operations were crippling, adversely affecting the performance and socio-psychological well-being of women. Today, great importance is attached not only to the oncological safety of modern methods of operations, but also to an aesthetic, functional result. The accumulated experience and scientific analysis make it possible to objectively judge the measures of sufficiency and redundancy of the volume of surgical trauma, more correctly placing emphasis on the advisability of using certain techniques. It seems interesting to take a historical tour of the stages of the development of surgical oncоmammology, to evaluate the current state of the issue, and try to see the future.
