Breast Tumors & Breast Cancer Surgery
Breast surgery should balance oncologic safety, pathology, imaging findings and the patient’s individual preferences.
When surgery may be considered
Options depend on tumor biology, size, location, lymph-node findings and whether systemic treatment is recommended first.
Multidisciplinary care
Surgery is considered as part of the complete treatment plan.
Depending on the diagnosis, care may involve medical oncology, radiation oncology, gastroenterology, radiology, pathology and other specialties.
