Closure techniques included primary closure (13; 42%), tissue flaps (13; 42%), and skin grafting (05; 16%). There were 11 patients who received postoperative radiation, 4 for positive margins after maximal surgical excision. At a median follow-up of 24 months (range 1-72), 2 patients (6.5%) recurred locally, and 1 patient (3.2%) had lung metastasis. Using a standardized surgical approach including meticulous pathologic evaluation of margins, low recurrence rate (10%) was achieved with adequate margins (2-3 cm). © Indian Association of Surgical Oncology 2019.Breast anthropometry plays an important role in surgical decision-making in the era of breast conservation therapy, oncoplasty and reconstruction. Majority of the currently available breast anthropometry data is from Western countries, and there is a need to evaluate anthropometric data among Indian women to tailor our surgical decision-making and achieve optimum surgical results. Two hundred and thirty-one breast cancer patients were included in this prospective study, and different anthropometric parameters were evaluated to assess and describe the nipple-areola complex, breast shape, size, volume and ptosis. Breast volume was calculated using formula developed by Qiao et al. Outcomes were compared with data available from different countries. Mean breast volume among Indian women was 515 ml. Nearly, 81% of patients had ptosis and up to 40% had grade 3 ptosis. Breast volume among Indian patients can be grouped into three categories based on quartiles (category I-≤ 220 ml, category II-> 220 to ≤ 730 ml, category III-> 730 ml). Overall breast anthropometry data among Indian women was different from the data reported from western studies. Breast anthropometry plays an important role in the surgical decision-making, and results of the study indicate that the anthropometry of Indian women is
