BACKGROUND: Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) has gained popularity for breast cancer treatment and prevention. There are limited data about long-term oncologic safety of this procedure. STUDY DESIGN: We reviewed oncologic outcomes of consecutive therapeutic NSM at a single institution. Nipple-sparing mastectomy was offered to patients with no radiologic or clinical evidence of nipple involvement. RESULTS: There were 2,182 NSM performed from 2007 to 2016. Long-term outcomes were assessed in the 311 NSM performed in 2007 to 2012 for Stages 0 to 3 breast cancer; 240 (77%) NSM were for invasive cancer and 71 (23%) were for ductal carcinoma in situ. At 51 months median follow-up, 17 patients developed a recurrence of their cancer. Estimated disease-free survival was 95.7% at 3 years and 92.3% at 5 years. There were 11 (3.7%) locoregional recurrences and 8 (2.7%) distant recurrences; 2 patients had simultaneous locoregional and distant recurrences. There were 2 breast cancer-related deaths in patients with isolated distant recurrences. No patient in the entire 2,182 NSM cohort has had a recurrence in the retained nipple-areola complex. CONCLUSIONS: Rates of locoregional and distant recurrence are acceptably low after nipple-sparing mastectomy in patients with breast cancer. No patient in our series has had a recurrence involving the retained nipple areola complex.
