Secondary * Evaluate local recurrence at 5 years. * Evaluate aesthetic results. * Evaluate quality of life using the QLQC30 and BR23 questionnaires. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients undergo oncoplastic conservative surgery according to defined modalities across the various centers. Quality of life is assessed periodically. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 6 months for 2 years and then for at least 3 years.
