Breast Surgery

The growth of cancer cells in the body can be dangerous and needs to be treated as soon as possible to avoid serious health complications. While in most cases the tumours can be removed from the breast with a surgical procedure. While in extreme conditions when the cancer has hugely spread across the breast then your surgeon might require removing the entire breast to remove the cancer.

Types of breast cancer surgery

There are primarily two major types of breast cancer surgery that include Lumpectomy and Mastectomy followed by other additional surgeries.

Lumpectomy

This surgical procedure is used to remove an individual or set of tumours from your breast using surgical procedures. The surgery is mostly recommended during the treatment of breast cancer which is in the early stages.

Mastectomy

This surgical procedure is mostly performed when the cancer has affected the major parts of the breast including chest muscles and walls of the chest. This process includes the removal of one or both of the breasts to fully remove the cancer from the body.
