Why Breast Cancer Surgery Is Needed
Performed to remove cancerous tissue from the breast once a diagnosis of breast cancer is confirmed, typically after a biopsy of a suspicious lump or abnormal mammogram finding. The extent of surgery depends on tumor size, location, number of tumor sites, and patient preference, ranging from breast-conserving surgery to complete removal of the breast.
Signs You May Need Breast Cancer Surgery
A new lump or thickening in the breast or underarm, changes in breast size or shape, skin dimpling or puckering, nipple discharge, especially bloody, nipple inversion, or persistent breast pain are key warning signs. Many cases are also detected through routine screening mammograms before symptoms appear.
Types of Breast Cancer Surgery
Lumpectomy removes only the tumor and a margin of surrounding tissue, usually followed by radiation, while mastectomy removes the entire breast and is used for larger tumors, multiple tumor sites, or patient preference. Sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection is often performed alongside to check for cancer spread, and breast reconstruction can be done immediately or later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lumpectomy or mastectomy - which is better?
Both have similar long-term survival for many early-stage cancers when lumpectomy is combined with radiation; the choice depends on tumor characteristics, breast size, and personal preference, best discussed with a breast oncologist.
Will I need chemotherapy or radiation after surgery?
This depends on the cancer's type, stage, and grade, as determined by pathology after surgery; your oncology team will recommend the appropriate additional treatment.
Can I have breast reconstruction after mastectomy?
Yes, reconstruction can be done at the same time as mastectomy or later, using implants or the patient's own tissue, depending on preference and health factors.
What is the recovery time?
Lumpectomy recovery is generally quicker, around 1-2 weeks, while mastectomy, especially with reconstruction, typically takes 4-6 weeks.
Will removing lymph nodes cause arm swelling?
There's a risk of lymphedema after lymph node removal, which your care team will help you monitor and manage with specific precautions and exercises.
