Lumpectomy is performed to treat early-stage breast cancer or certain precancerous conditions where the tumor is small relative to the breast and can be removed with a clear margin of healthy tissue while conserving the rest of the breast. It is typically recommended after a biopsy confirms cancer that is localized and has not spread extensively within the breast.

Signs You May Need Lumpectomy

Warning signs leading to diagnosis include a new lump or thickening in the breast or underarm, changes in breast size or shape, skin dimpling or puckering, nipple discharge or inversion, and skin redness or scaling. Many cancers suitable for lumpectomy are actually detected through routine mammogram screening before any symptoms are noticeable.

Types of Lumpectomy

Standard lumpectomy removes the tumor with a margin of surrounding healthy tissue, often combined with sentinel lymph node biopsy to check for cancer spread. Oncoplastic lumpectomy incorporates plastic surgery techniques to reshape the breast for better cosmetic outcome when a larger area needs removal, and it is almost always followed by radiation therapy to reduce the risk of local recurrence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is lumpectomy as effective as mastectomy for breast cancer?

For appropriately selected early-stage cancers, lumpectomy followed by radiation has survival rates comparable to mastectomy, making breast conservation a safe option that your oncologist can confirm is right for your case.

Will I need radiation after lumpectomy?

Yes, radiation therapy is almost always recommended after lumpectomy to destroy any remaining microscopic cancer cells and significantly reduce the chance of the cancer returning in the same breast.

How much of the breast is removed?

Only the tumor and a small margin of surrounding healthy tissue are removed, preserving most of the breast's shape and size, unlike mastectomy which removes the entire breast.

How long is recovery after lumpectomy?

Recovery is relatively quick, with most women resuming normal activities within two to four weeks, though this can extend slightly once radiation therapy begins.

What if cancer is found in the lymph nodes during surgery?

If the sentinel lymph node biopsy shows cancer spread, your surgeon may recommend removing more lymph nodes and your oncology team will plan additional treatment such as chemotherapy accordingly.
