About this treatment
Breast Cancer Surgery is performed to remove malignant tumors from the breast. Depending on the stage and extent of cancer, the procedure may involve lumpectomy (removal of tumor only) or mastectomy (removal of the entire breast). Lymph nodes may also be removed to assess cancer spread. Surgery is often combined with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or hormonal therapy for comprehensive cancer management.
