Understanding Breast Conserving Surgery (Lumpectomy) with Dr. Ramesh Parimi: Purpose and Benefits
Breast conserving surgery, also known as lumpectomy, is a procedure where only the tumor and a small margin of surrounding tissue are removed, leaving the rest of the breast intact. The primary purpose of this surgery is to treat
breast cancer while preserving as much of the breast tissue as possible. It offers significant benefits, including a shorter recovery time, less scarring, and a better cosmetic outcome compared to
mastectomy. Lumpectomy is often followed by radiation therapy to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence, making it an effective option for many patients with early-stage breast cancer.
