Breast Cancer Surgery

Breast cancer surgery includes procedures like lumpectomy, mastectomy, and reconstructive surgery.

The goal is to remove cancer while preserving aesthetics and functionality.

Overview And Clinical Background

Surgery is the primary treatment for localized breast cancer.

It may be combined with chemotherapy or radiation for best results.

Techniques:Lumpectomy, mastectomy, and sentinel lymph node biopsy.
Reconstruction can be immediate or delayed.
Objective:Remove all cancerous tissue while minimizing cosmetic loss.

Symptoms, Signs And Presentation

Candidates include those with confirmed breast cancer or suspicious localized tumors.

Pain, swelling, or palpable lumps may lead to evaluation.

Common symptom:Palpable lump or skin change.
Discharge or nipple inversion.
Red flag:Rapidly enlarging mass or ulceration.

Diagnosis Methods And Investigations

Imaging And Laboratory Tests

Pre-surgical imaging and biopsy confirm extent.

MRI and mammography are used for mapping tumor boundaries.

Imaging:Mammogram, MRI, or ultrasound to guide surgery.
Lab tests:Hormone receptor and HER2 testing influence therapy.
Blood and fitness tests done preoperatively.

Treatment Options And Surgical Techniques

Approach varies with cancer type and stage.

Reconstruction offers aesthetic restoration post-surgery.

Conservative:Lumpectomy preserves most of the breast.
Minimally invasive options:Sentinel node biopsy reduces lymph removal.
Full mastectomy for extensive or recurrent cancer.

Recovery, Risks And Prognosis

Recovery is smooth for most patients with post-op care.

Physical therapy aids arm mobility; prognosis is excellent when caught early.
