In this video, I am going to talk about why should you choose a lumpectomy?
A lumpectomy is a surgical procedure designed to remove a specific portion of breast tissue, usually targeted at a cancerous or suspicious lump. This approach, also known as breast-conserving surgery, aims to preserve as much of the breast as possible while effectively addressing the identified concern.
The decision to undergo a lumpectomy is often influenced by factors such as the size and location of the tumor, the characteristics of the cancer, and the patient's overall health. Unlike mastectomy, which involves the complete removal of the breast, a lumpectomy allows individuals to retain much of their breast tissue, contributing to a more natural appearance post-surgery.
Additionally, lumpectomy is often combined with radiation therapy to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment and reduce the risk of cancer recurrence, offering a balance between eradicating the disease and preserving the aesthetic and functional aspects of the breast. Patients considering this procedure typically engage in thorough discussions with their healthcare team to make informed decisions tailored to their specific circumstances.
