Lumpectomy

Breast-Conserving Surgery, also known as a lumpectomy or wide local excision, involves removing the cancerous tumor along with a margin of surrounding healthy tissue. This procedure aims to preserve as much of the breast as possible, offering an effective treatment for early-stage breast cancer.

Ideal Candidates

 

  • Patients with early-stage breast cancer.
  • Individuals with tumors localized in one area of the breast.
  • Those seeking to maintain their natural breast appearance.

Procedure Details:

 

  • Performed under general anesthesia.
  • The surgeon removes the tumor and a small margin of healthy tissue.
  • Often followed by radiation therapy to eliminate any remaining cancer cells.

Medical Considerations:

Benefits:

  • Preserves most of the breast tissue.
  • Shorter recovery time compared to mastectomy.
  • Maintains the natural contour and appearance of the breast.

Recovery:

  • Typically involves a short hospital stay.
  • Patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks.
  • Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor healing and detect any recurrence.
