Breast Cancer Surgery Surgery usually involves removing part, or sometimes all, of the breast. Breast Cancer Surgery is usually the first attempt to cure breast cancer. Decisions about Breast Cancer surgery depend on various factors. Your surgeon will recommend the kind of surgery most appropriate for you based on the stage of the cancer, how it is growing, what is better for you in terms of your better future. Lumpectomy, also known as breast-conserving surgery, is the removal of only the tumor and a small amount of surrounding tissue from an affected man or womans breast. Mastectomy is the surgical removal of one or both breasts, partially or completely. Your Breast Cancer surgery may also involve having axillary lymph nodes removed during lumpectomy and mastectomy if the biopsy shows that breast cancer has spread outside the milk duct. Breast reconstruction is the rebuilding of the breast after mastectomy and sometimes lumpectomy. Reconstruction can take place at the same time as cancerremoving surgery, or months to years later. Breast reconstruction is achieved through several plastic surgery techniques that attempt to restore a breast to near normal shape, appearance and size following mastectomy. http://breastscancersymptoms.net/breast-cancer-surgery/ 10/1/2012 10:24:22 PM
