Breast Lumpectomy in West Bengal

What is Breast Lumpectomy?

Surgical removal of a breast lump (tumor) while preserving the surrounding normal breast tissue

Why Breast Lumpectomy Is Needed

Performed to remove a breast lump, most often a confirmed or suspected cancerous tumor, while preserving as much healthy breast tissue as possible, making it the standard breast-conserving option for early-stage breast cancer. It's also occasionally used to remove large or symptomatic benign lumps like fibroadenomas.

Signs You May Need Breast Lumpectomy

A palpable lump or area of thickening in the breast, an abnormal finding on a mammogram or ultrasound, or changes noted during a biopsy that indicate the need for surgical removal are the main triggers. Unlike more advanced cancers, lumpectomy candidates typically have a single, well-localized area of concern rather than widespread disease.

Types of Breast Lumpectomy

Standard lumpectomy removes the lump with a margin of healthy tissue around it, while oncoplastic lumpectomy combines tumor removal with plastic surgery techniques to reshape the breast for a better cosmetic outcome, especially useful for larger tumors relative to breast size. It's frequently combined with sentinel lymph node biopsy to check for cancer spread.
