Breast Cancer Surgery: Decisions with Dr. Rajindar Kaur Saggu


 

Lumpectomy (Breast-Conserving Surgery):

  • Procedure: Removal of the tumor and a small margin of surrounding healthy tissue.
  • Goal: Preserve as much of the breast as possible while ensuring complete removal of cancerous tissue.
  • Suitability: Often recommended for smaller tumors.
  • Follow-up: May be followed by radiation therapy to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.

Mastectomy:

  • Procedure: Complete removal of the entire breast.
  • Types: Total (simple) mastectomy, modified radical mastectomy, and radical mastectomy.
  • Indications: Recommended for larger tumors, multiple tumors, or extensive spread of cancer within the breast.
  • Consideration: Breast reconstruction may be an option post-mastectomy for aesthetic restoration.

Decision-Making Process

  • Factors: Size and location of the tumor, cancer characteristics, and patient preferences.
  • Consultation: Discuss specific details of diagnosis and treatment plan with the healthcare team.
  • Options: Lumpectomy and mastectomy will be presented, considering individual circumstances.
  • Personal Choice: Patients actively participate in the decision-making process based on their unique situation.

It's crucial to engage in open communication with your healthcare team to make informed decisions tailored to your specific breast cancer diagnosis and personal preferences.
