Breast Lumpectomy Surgery in India

Overview

A lumpectomy, also known as partial mastectomy or segmentectomy, is a surgical procedure that removes a tumor from the breast while preserving the surrounding breast tissue. It can be used for both diagnosis and treatment. As a diagnostic tool, it determines whether the tumor is malignant or benign. As a treatment method, it aims to remove all cancer cells without needing a full mastectomy

Procedure Details

This procedure is also called breast-conserving surgery. Radiation therapy usually follows a lumpectomy to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. Q: A Lumpectomy: Is It a Major Procedure? A: No. It is not considered major surgery. Many women go home the same day. A mastectomy, in contrast, removes most or all breast tissue. Q: How Does a Breast Look Following a Lumpectomy? A: There may be minor scars, dimpling, or changes in breast shape. Discuss cosmetic outcomes with your doctor beforehand
