Our Breast cancer surgery Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Breast cancer surgery, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Mastectomy

It is a surgical procedure to remove one or both breasts, partially or completely, to treat or prevent breast cancer.

Pros: Mastectomy significantly reduces the risk of breast cancer recurrence by up to 90%. It is suitable for large tumors or multiple tumors in the same breast.
Cons: Longer recovery period compared to lumpectomy, and potential loss of sensation in the breast area. It may require additional reconstructive surgery.
Effectiveness: 90% reduction in breast cancer recurrence risk.
Duration: 2-3 hours.
Recovery: 4-6 weeks.
Best for: Large or multiple tumors, genetic predisposition to breast cancer, and when breast-conserving surgery is not an option.

Lumpectomy

Breast-conserving surgery involves removing a breast tumor and a small margin of surrounding tissue to treat breast cancer.

Pros: Preserves most of the breast, maintaining its appearance and sensation. Offers a 5-year survival rate of 93% when combined with radiation therapy.
Cons: May require additional surgeries if cancer cells are detected at the margins. Higher risk of local recurrence compared to mastectomy.
Effectiveness: Achieves a 5-year survival rate of approximately 93% with adjuvant therapy.
Duration: 1 to 2 hours
Recovery: 1 to 3 weeks
Best for: Early-stage breast cancer and tumors less than 5 centimeters.
