Breast Tumor Removal
Breast tumor removal, also known as lumpectomy or partial mastectomy, is a surgical procedure performed to remove a tumor or abnormal growth from the breast while preserving as much of the breast tissue as possible. It is typically performed for breast cancer treatment when the tumor is small and localized.
During a breast tumor removal procedure, the surgeon makes an incision over the breast, locates the tumor, and carefully removes it along with a surrounding margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete removal. The extent of tissue removal depends on the size and location of the tumor. After the tumor is removed, the breast tissue is usually closed with sutures, and the incision is covered with a sterile dressing.
Symptoms
Lumpectomy is indeed a treatment option for removing cancerous cells from the breast. Here are some signs and symptoms of breast cancer:
- A distinct breast lump or thickening that feels different from surrounding tissue.
- Changes in the size, shape, or appearance of the breast.
- Changes to the skin over the breast, such as dimpling or puckering.
- A newly inverted nipple.
- Peeling, scaling, crusting, or flaking of the skin around the nipple (areola) or breast.
- Redness or pitting of the skin over the breast, resembling the texture of an orange peel.
When to access Medical Care
Seek medical attention promptly if you experience any of the following signs or symptoms of breast cancer:
- A new lump or mass in the breast or underarm area.
- Changes in the size, shape, or appearance of the breast.
- Skin changes on the breast, such as dimpling, puckering, or redness.
- Nipple changes, including nipple inversion, discharge, or changes in texture.
- Persistent breast pain or discomfort.
- Swelling or lumps in the lymph nodes under the arm or around the collarbone.
- Any other unusual or concerning changes in the breast tissue.
Determinants of risk
Factors associated with an increased risk of breast cancer include:
- Gender: Women are more susceptible to breast cancer than men.
- Aging: The risk of breast cancer rises with age.
