Everything You Need To Know About Breast Cancer

• New trends in breast cancer surgery evolution
  from aggressive and mutilating treatment to
  conservative approach
• Breast cancer is currently the most common cancer
  among women worldwide. Surgery is usually the
  first line of attack against breast cancer.
• Today, the aesthetic satisfaction of breast
  cancer patients coupled with oncological safety
  is the goal of the modern breast surgeon. The
  present article will highlight the new surgical
  treatment options, which are more and more
  effective and respectful of breast cancer
  patients.
• Myths about breast cancer surgery.
• Mastectomy is safer than lumpectomy/Breast
  conservation surgery.
• Breast cancer surgery is not the radically
  deforming surgery that you may have seen
  in your
• grandmothers day.
• People with breast cancer have the opportunity to
  choose between total removal of a breast
  (mastectomy) and breast-conserving surgery
  (lumpectomy). BCS is a less radical cancer
  surgery than mastectomy. It is an operation to
  remove the cancer and some normal tissue around
  it, as opposed to the entire breast. A special
  technique called Frozen section/Cryosection is
  utilized to perform rapid microscopic analysis
  and confirm that cancer has been removed
  completely. For most women, BCS has a good
  cosmetic result. In rare cases when a larger area
  of tissue needs to be removed, BCS can cause the
  breast to look smaller or distorted. The special
  type of reconstruction called Oncoplasty is
  performed to at the same time to prevent
  distortion and to match both the breasts.
• The main advantage of BCS is that it can preserve
  much of the appearance and sensation of your
  breast. It is a less invasive surgery, so your
  recovery time is shorter and easier than with
  mastectomy.
• They are likely to have 5 weeks of radiation
  therapy, 5 days per week, after surgery to make
  sure the cancer is gone. Studies have shown that
  women with early-stage breast cancer who have BCS
  followed by radiation, live just as long as
  women who have a mastectomy.

axillary node surgery can lead to uncomfortable
side effects, including lingering discomfort,
numbness, and swelling called lymphedema.
Usually, this happens in only 15-25 of
cases. 3. If you have a strong history of
breast cancer in your family there is no
cure. Prophylactic mastectomy is a preventive
removal of the breast to lower the risk of breast
cancer in high-risk people. Reconstruction can
take place at the same time as surgery, or months
to years later. Some women decide not to have
reconstruction and opt for a prosthesis
instead. The surgical treatment of breast cancer
has undergone continuous and profound changes
over the last decade. Today, as a result of the
complex and coordinated medical treatment of
breast malignancies the long-term survival rate
reaches 80 with modern breast surgery playing a
prominent role in the multidisciplinary treatment
of breast tumors.
