Cancer Care & Second Opinion
Breast cancer surgery: the operation should follow the cancer plan
Surgery is one part of a breast cancer plan, and the right operation depends on the disease, not on the newest technique.
Possible procedures
- breast-conserving surgery
- mastectomy
- nipple-sparing or skin-sparing approaches in selected patients
- sentinel lymph-node biopsy
- axillary surgery where indicated
What the decision depends on
The decision depends on tumour size and location, breast size, multifocal disease, genetics, response to systemic therapy, radiation planning, and patient preference.
“Minimally invasive,” robotic, or endoscopic techniques should not be chosen simply because they are newer. Oncologic appropriateness and clinician experience come first.
