Frequently Asked Questions
Will I need radiation after lumpectomy?
Yes, radiation therapy is typically recommended after lumpectomy for cancer to reduce the risk of local recurrence, as part of standard breast-conserving treatment.
How much of my breast will be removed?
Only the lump and a margin of surrounding tissue are removed, so most of the breast is preserved, unlike a mastectomy.
Is lumpectomy as effective as mastectomy for cancer?
For many early-stage cancers, lumpectomy combined with radiation has similar long-term survival to mastectomy, though suitability depends on tumor size and other individual factors.
What is the recovery time?
Most patients recover within 2-4 weeks, resuming normal activities gradually as swelling and soreness subside.
Will there be a noticeable change in breast shape?
Some change in shape or size is possible depending on how much tissue is removed, though oncoplastic techniques can help minimize visible changes.
