What Is Breast Cancer Surgery?
When a patient has been diagnosed with breast cancer, surgery to remove cancerous tissue is often a key part of treatment. At Life Surgical Oncology in La Canada, CA, Dr. Avo Artinyan specializes in several types of surgeries for breast cancer, including lumpectomy, partial mastectomy, mastectomy, and nipple-sparing mastectomy. A lumpectomy removes the tumor while preserving as much healthy breast tissue as possible. A mastectomy removes all breast tissue from one or both breasts. In a nipple-sparing mastectomy, the breast tissue is removed while keeping the breast skin and nipple intact. Contact our office today to schedule a consultation and learn more about your options for breast cancer surgery and recovery.
What Can I Expect with Breast Cancer Surgery?
Before surgery for breast cancer, every patient will have a pre-operative consultation with Dr. Artinyan. Depending on the type of procedure and individual health needs, surgery may be done on an inpatient or outpatient basis. After surgery, it's normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and numbness around the incision. The recovery process varies based on the specific breast cancer surgery performed. All patients are monitored closely to support healing and manage any complications.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Cancer Surgery?
Breast cancer surgery is a critical step in eliminating cancerous tissue and supporting the overall treatment process. It not only addresses the immediate presence of cancer but also helps guide the next phase of care, whether that includes radiation, chemotherapy, or reconstruction. Benefits include:
- Removes tumors and cancerous growths to stop the spread of disease
- Offers multiple surgical options based on the stage and type of breast cancer
- Reduces the need for additional therapies in some cases
- Allows for the possibility of breast reconstruction after surgery
- Supports long-term recovery with close post-op monitoring and care
