Breast Cancer
Breast Cancer
Breast cancer surgery is a vital component of breast cancer treatment, aimed at removing cancerous tissue and preventing the spread of the disease. Depending on the type and stage of breast cancer, various surgical options are available to ensure the best outcomes for patients.
When is Breast Cancer Surgery Needed?
Breast cancer surgery may be recommended for:
- Tumor Removal: To eliminate cancerous growths from the breast.
- Breast Reconstruction: To restore the shape and appearance of the breast after surgery.
- Cancer Staging: To assess the extent of the disease and determine further treatment options.
Types of Breast Cancer Surgeries
- Lumpectomy:
- Removal of the tumor and a small margin of surrounding tissue.
- Often followed by radiation therapy to reduce the risk of recurrence.
- Mastectomy:
- Removal of one or both breasts, depending on the extent of cancer.
- Types include total mastectomy (removal of the entire breast) and partial mastectomy (removal of part of the breast).
- Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy:
- Removal of a few lymph nodes to check for cancer spread.
- Helps in staging and planning further treatment.
- Axillary Lymph Node Dissection:
- Removal of multiple lymph nodes from the underarm area if cancer is detected.
- Breast Reconstruction:
- Performed after mastectomy to rebuild the breast’s shape using implants or tissue from other body parts.
