What is Lumpectomy Surgery?
A lumpectomy is a breast-conserving surgical procedure designed to remove cancerous or abnormal tissue while maintaining the natural shape of the breast. It is commonly recommended for early-stage breast cancer or benign lumps that require removal. The procedure involves excising the tumor along with a small margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete removal. Compared to mastectomy, lumpectomy offers a less invasive approach, leading to quicker recovery, minimal scarring, and better cosmetic outcomes while effectively treating the condition.
