Операција рака дојке

Most women with breast cancer requires surgery. Depending upon the stage of disease, extent, patient condition and situation different types of breast surgeries are planned. For example surgery may be done to :

• Remove as much of the cancer as possible (breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy)
• Find out whether the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm (sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection)
• Restore the breast’s shape after the cancer is removed (breast reconstruction)
• Relieve symptoms of advanced cancer

A specialist breast cancer surgeon decides on what kind of surgery will be required.

Mainly there are two types of breast surgery :

1. Breast conservation surgery – (also called a lumpectomy, quadrantectomy, partial mastectomy, or segmental mastectomy) is a surgery in which only the part of the breast containing the cancer is removed.
2. Mastectomy – is a surgery in which the entire breast is removed, including all of the breast tissue and sometimes other nearby tissues.

Breast reconstruction after surgery

Many woman having surgery for breast cancer might have the option of breast reconstruction. A woman having a mastectomy might want to consider having the breast mound rebuilt to restore the breast’s appearance after surgery. In some breast-conserving surgeries, a woman may consider having fat grafted into the affected breast to correct any dimples left from the surgery. The options will depend on each woman’s situation.
