Breast Cancer Surgeries
Breast Cancer Surgeries
Breast cancer surgery is the primary treatment for most patients diagnosed with breast malignancies. The objective of surgical intervention is to remove the cancer completely while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. Modern breast surgery has evolved to prioritize both oncological safety and the physical well-being of the patient. Whether the goal is to save the breast or perform a total removal, the focus remains on ensuring the best long-term health outcome through precise and careful surgical techniques.
Breast Cancer Symptoms
The need for surgery is typically identified after a suspicious finding on a mammogram or ultrasound. Common symptoms that lead to a surgical evaluation include a firm, painless lump in the breast or underarm area. Patients may also notice changes in the shape or size of the breast, skin alterations such as dimpling or redness, and nipple discharge. A newly inverted nipple is another significant indicator. If any of these signs are present, a specialized surgical assessment is required to determine the stage of the cancer and the appropriate surgical path.
Types of Breast Cancer
There are two main surgical approaches: breast-conserving surgery and mastectomy. Breast-conserving surgery, also known as a lumpectomy, involves removing only the tumor and a surrounding margin of healthy tissue. Mastectomy is the removal of the entire breast tissue, which may be necessary for larger tumors or those located in multiple areas of the breast. Within these categories, we offer oncoplasty, which integrates plastic surgery techniques to reshape the breast after tumor removal, and sentinel lymph node biopsy to check for cancer spread with minimal disruption to the armpit.
Breast Cancer Treatment and Process
The process begins with precise localization of the tumor to ensure accurate removal. During the surgery, the malignancy is excised while carefully managing the margins to ensure no cancer cells remain. If a mastectomy is performed, reconstruction using the patient’s own tissue or specialized implants can often be discussed. The surgical team focuses on high-precision dissection to minimize scarring and promote faster healing. This comprehensive approach ensures that the cancer is treated aggressively while supporting the patient’s physical recovery.
