Breast cancer survival
Today, thanks to early detection and advanced treatment methods, the chances are high that a woman who discovers a cancerous breast lump will continue to live a long and healthy life following treatment.
A major element in disease treatment is surgery to remove the malignant cells that have been discovered in the breast. Surgery and radiotherapy are considered local treatments because they only affect the breast.
Breast cancer surgeries
The primary treatment for patients with early-stage breast cancer (stages 1 – 3) is surgery. Surgery falls into two main types:
Mastectomy: Complete resection of the breast
Lumpectomy: Removal of only the tumor area
The surgeon determines the extent of the surgery according to numerous factors:
-
The type of tumor
-
The extent of tumor penetration into the breast tissue, lymph nodes, and blood vessels
-
The size of the breast
-
Breast tissue characteristics
-
The patient's preference
