Breast cancer presents a common form of cancer in women, associated with increased mortality, costs, and psychosocial problems. Breast conserving surgery became a serious alternative of radical mastectomy in early stages of breast cancer. This technique tends to have the same oncological results as radical mastectomy but with better cosmetic results. Several factors may have an impact of what surgical technique is preferred by the patients. Breast cancer staging, education level, rural or urban residence, and the relationship between the surgical team and the patient, are the most important factors that cam modify the surgical technique. Albanian population has some specific regarding residence, education level, and a great difident sense regarding physicians. Our trail through this retrospective descriptive study tends to present and explain the results in our population.
