Abstract    With the progress of study in breast cancer, treatment involving chemotherapy, endocrine therapy and targeted therapy has received consensus. As one of the important treatments, several problems in breast surgery should be noticed. We reviewed related literatures and discussed the supraclavicular lymph node biopsy and dissection, sentinel lymph node biopsy, the treatment of upper limb lymphedema after axillary lymph node dissection, surgery of liver and lung metastases and immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy of breast cancer.
