Overview of Breast Cancer Surgery Options:
1. Lumpectomy (Breast-Conserving Surgery):
– Removes tumor and a small portion of surrounding tissue.
– Preserves most of the breast.
– Typically for early-stage cancer.
2. Mastectomy:
– Total (Simple) Mastectomy:
– Removes the breast without lymph nodes or chest muscles.
– Modified Radical Mastectomy:
– Removes the breast and some underarm lymph nodes.
– Radical Mastectomy:
– Rarely used, removes breast, chest muscles, and underarm lymph nodes.
3. Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB):
– Removes a few lymph nodes to check for cancer spread without extensive removal.
4. Axillary Lymph Node Dissection (ALND):
– Removes more underarm lymph nodes if cancer has spread or SLNB isn’t feasible.
5. Breast Reconstruction:
– Rebuilds the breast after mastectomy.
– Utilizes implants or tissue from other body parts.
6. Oophorectomy:
– Removes ovaries in hormone-receptor positive cases.
– Reduces estrogen to limit cancer growth.
7. Prophylactic Mastectomy:
– For high-risk individuals.
– Removes healthy breasts to lower breast cancer risk.
Decisions are individualized, necessitating thorough discussions with healthcare teams for informed choices.
