AB  - The authors' aim is to provide breast surgeons' perspectives on the relative 
      importance of the criteria for choosing an appropriate surgery method between 
      mastectomy (total removal of a breast) and breast-conserving surgery (removal of 
      a breast cancer tumor and some of the normal tissue that surrounds it) for women 
      with breast cancer by using the multicriteria decision-making method (MCDM). The 
      Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the Technique for Order Preference by 
      Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), and Vise Kriterijumska Optimizacija I 
      Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) methods are utilized. A decision hierarchy is set 
      with a goal, criteria, and alternatives. We developed our model based on three 
      main criteria, tumor-related, patient-related, and post-operative process-related 
      factors and nineteen sub-criteria, as well as two alternatives, mastectomy and 
      breast-conserving surgery (BCS). An online questionnaire was sent to the breast 
      surgeons; we showed that the most important criteria are post-operative 
      process-related factors, especially the demand for esthetic appearance based on 
      39 breast surgeons. Conversely, the least significant criteria are tumor-related 
      factors. Furthermore, breast-conserving surgery is selected as the most 
      appropriate surgery method for breast cancer patients using the AHP, TOPSIS, and 
      VIKOR.
