22 Jul 2025 • A study of pregnant and postpartum women undergoing oncologic breast surgery reported low 90-day complication rates (12.2%) despite high-risk profiles—66.7% had high-grade, 87.2% stage II–III invasive ductal carcinoma, and 59.8% received neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Most (72%) underwent mastectomy. Surgical site infection (6.1%) and seromas (4.9%) were most common; no milk fistulas occurred.

Lactational changes (75% of patients) did not raise complication risk, confirming surgery is safe with rates comparable to the general population.
