Restore your health and confidence with our help!

Lumpectomy is a surgical procedure in which only the tumor (lump) and a small portion of the surrounding healthy breast tissue are removed. This method is often used to treat early stages of breast cancer and is less invasive compared to a full mastectomy.

This operation is performed if you have the following indications

• Early stages of breast cancer: Lumpectomy is often recommended for treating early stages of cancer when the tumor is small and localized

• Multiple tumors: In some cases, lumpectomy can be used to remove several small tumors in one breast

• Prevention: In rare cases, lumpectomy may be performed for preventive purposes in patients with a high risk of developing breast cancer

Advantages of this procedure over others

• Breast preservation: Lumpectomy allows for the preservation of most of the breast, which is important for aesthetics and the psychological comfort of the patient

• Shorter recovery time: Compared to mastectomy, lumpectomy requires less recovery time and has fewer complications

• Fewer scars: The incision in lumpectomy is usually smaller, leaving fewer scars

Preparation for the operation and procedure

Before the operation, thorough diagnostics are performed, including mammography, ultrasound, and biopsy, to accurately determine the size and location of the tumor.

The surgeon makes a small incision in the breast area and removes the tumor along with a small amount of surrounding tissue. In some cases, nearby lymph nodes are also removed to check for cancer cells. The wound is sutured, and a sterile dressing is applied.

Post-operative rehabilitation is very important for the patient. We understand that recovery from lumpectomy is not just a physical process but also an emotional one. Our team offers comprehensive rehabilitation, including physiotherapy and psychological support, to help you return to a full life.

Additional treatment methods

• Radiation therapy: Often recommended after lumpectomy to destroy any remaining cancer cells

• Hormonal therapy: May be prescribed to reduce the risk of recurrence in patients with hormone-dependent types of cancer

• Chemotherapy: May be used depending on the stage and type of cancer

Breast reconstruction is possible after the operation

After lumpectomy, we offer various methods of breast reconstruction, including the use of implants and the patient's own tissues. Our specialists will help you choose the most suitable method to restore your confidence and quality of life.

Lumpectomy is an effective and less invasive method for treating early stages of breast cancer. It allows for the preservation of most of the breast and ensures quick recovery. However, it is important to thoroughly discuss all possible risks and benefits with your doctor before deciding to undergo the operation.
