Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy (NSM)

  • NSM is an oncologically sound option for selected breast cancer patients (as it is for prophylaxis) but there is no clear consensus as to the selection criteria:
    • Based on careful anatomic studies and recent comprehensive reviews:
      • Nipple involvement was present in 11.5% of reported NSM procedures, and was associated with:
        • Tumor-to-nipple distance of less than 2 cm
        • Positive nodes
        • Lymphovascular invasion
        • ER/PR-negative
        • HER2-positive
        • Locally advanced
        • Retroareolar
        • Multicentric tumors
    • Local recurrence occurred more frequently in the skin flaps (4.2%) than in the nipple (0.9%).
    • Nipple necrosis was:
      • Partial thickness in 6.3% of patients
      • Full thickness in 2.9% of patients
    • A negative nipple margin is necessary for NSM but is not sufficient for patients whose tumors are otherwise unsuitable (see risk factors above).
    • NSM is also not suitable for patients:
      • Whose breasts are very large and / or ptotic
      • Who are elderly
      • Who have significant comorbidities
