Breast Cancer
Breast cancer surgery is a common treatment option for breast cancer and is often an essential part of a patient's treatment plan. The type of surgery recommended depends on several factors, including the stage and characteristics of the cancer, the patient's general health, and personal preferences.

This approach aims to preserve as much breast as possible while effectively treating the cancer. The lumpectomy is usually followed by radiation therapy to reduce the risk of the cancer coming back.
