Lumpectomy
A lumpectomy is the surgical removal of a cancerous lump in the
breast, along with a small margin of the surrounding normal breast
tissue. The doctors often perform this procedure on women with small
or localized breast cancers. A lumpectomy can also be an attractive
surgical treatment option for breast cancer because it allows women
to maintain most of their breast after surgery. Several studies
have shown that women with small breast tumors have an equal chance
of surviving breast cancer regardless of whether they have a lumpectomy,
followed by a full course of radiation therapy, or mastectomy (complete
breast removal, which generally does not require post-operative
radiation treatment).
