Breast cancer surgery is a primary treatment for breast cancer, aimed at removing cancerous tissue from the breast while preserving healthy tissue whenever possible. The type of surgery depends on the size, location, and stage of the tumor, as well as the patient’s overall health and preferences. The most common surgical options include lumpectomy (breast-conserving surgery), which removes the tumor along with a small margin of surrounding tissue, and mastectomy, which involves the removal of the entire breast. In some cases, a modified radical mastectomy is performed, which also includes removal of nearby lymph nodes to check for the spread of cancer. Sentinel lymph node biopsy and axillary lymph node dissection are standard procedures to assess lymphatic involvement. Breast cancer surgery is often combined with adjuvant therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy, or targeted therapy, depending on the type and stage of cancer. Reconstructive surgery may be performed immediately or later to restore the appearance of the breast. Modern surgical techniques, including minimally invasive and oncoplastic procedures, aim to reduce scarring and improve cosmetic outcomes. Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery, and patients are closely monitored for complications. Early detection and timely surgical intervention significantly improve survival rates and long-term outcomes for breast cancer patients.
