SURGICAL TREATMENT
MASTECTOMY
Mastectomy is an operation in which the entire
breast, usually including the nipple and the areola,
is removed. Mastectomy is usually performed as a
treatment of breast cancer.
In general, women with breast cancer can decide
whether to be treated with a lumpectomyor a
mastectomy.
A lumpectomy is the removal of the cancerous
breast tissue as well as a surrounding rim of healthy
breast tissue. A lumpectomy is a breast-conserving
surgery that is usually followed byradiation
therapy(high-doseX-raysor other high-energy rays
to kill cancer cells).
MASTECTOMY
There are four main types:
Total mastectomy - removal of breast tissue and nipple
Modified radical mastectomy - removal of the breast,
most of the lymph nodes under the arm and often the
lining over the chest muscles
Lumpectomy - surgery to remove the tumor and a small
amount of normal tissue around it
Radical mastectomy - the removal of the breast, lymph
nodes and chest muscles. This is no longer common
Which surgery you have depends on the stage of cancer,
size of the tumor, size of the breast and whether the
lymph nodes are involved. Many women havebreast
reconstructionto rebuild the breast after a mastectomy.
