Surgical treatment options include:

Lumpectomy – Also called breast-sparing surgery. During a lumpectomy, a surgeon removes the cancer and a margin of normal tissue surrounding the cancer.
Mastectomy – This is complete removal of the breast tissue, including the nipple but not the muscle of the chest wall.
Nipple-sparing mastectomy – This is a complete removal of the breast tissue, excluding the nipple and the muscle of the chest wall.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy – This is a procedure in which the lymph nodes most likely containing cancer are removed.
Axillary node dissection – In this procedure, the fat containing lymph nodes is removed to determine whether the lymph nodes contain cancer.

You will receive a very personalized approach – a treatment plan designed specifically for your individual needs.
