What Is Breast Cancer Surgery?
Breast cancer surgery involves the removal of cancerous tissue from the breast and, when necessary, nearby lymph nodes to prevent the spread of disease. Surgery may be performed as a standalone treatment or combined with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or hormonal therapy depending on the cancer stage and biological type.
With early diagnosis and expert surgical management, outcomes for breast cancer patients have improved significantly. Dr. Sachin Trivedi follows evidence-based protocols to ensure safe, effective, and patient-focused surgical care.
Who Needs Breast Cancer Surgery?
Breast cancer surgery may be recommended by Dr. Sachin Trivedi if:
- Breast cancer is confirmed through biopsy
- A suspicious breast lump or tumor is detected
- Cancer is localized and surgically operable
- Lymph node evaluation is required
- Surgery is planned after chemotherapy (neoadjuvant therapy)
Each patient undergoes a detailed evaluation to determine the most appropriate surgical approach based on cancer stage, tumor size, overall health, and individual preferences.
Types of Breast Cancer Surgery Offered
01
Lumpectomy (Breast-Conserving Surgery)
This procedure involves removal of the cancerous tumor along with a margin of healthy tissue, preserving most of the breast. It is commonly recommended for early-stage breast cancer and is often followed by radiation therapy.
Benefits include:
- Preservation of breast appearance
- Shorter recovery period
- Effective treatment for early-stage cancers
02
Mastectomy
Mastectomy involves complete removal of one or both breasts and may be recommended in advanced cases or when breast-conserving surgery is not suitable.
Types include:
- Simple mastectomy
- Modified radical mastectomy
- Skin-sparing or nipple-sparing mastectomy (in selected cases)
03
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
A minimally invasive technique used to assess whether cancer has spread to lymph nodes. Only the first few lymph nodes are removed, reducing the risk of arm swelling and other complications.
04
Axillary Lymph Node Dissection
If cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, additional nodes may be removed to control disease progression.
05
Oncoplastic Breast Surgery
This advanced approach combines cancer surgery with reconstructive techniques to maintain breast shape and symmetry while ensuring complete tumor removal.
06
Reconstructive Breast Surgery (When Required)
Breast reconstruction may be performed immediately or at a later stage after mastectomy to restore breast contour, helping improve confidence and quality of life.
Benefits of Breast Cancer Surgery
Expert breast cancer surgery offers multiple benefits:
- Complete removal of cancerous tissue
- Accurate staging of the disease
- Reduced risk of cancer recurrence
- Improved survival outcomes
- Better cosmetic and functional results
Dr. Sachin Trivedi carefully balances oncologic safety with aesthetic and functional preservation.
