What’s the difference between a lumpectomy and a mastectomy?

A lumpectomy removes only the tumor and surrounding tissue, preserving most of the breast. A mastectomy removes the entire breast and may be recommended for larger tumors or high-risk cases.

Can I get reconstruction at the same time as cancer surgery?

Yes. Many patients are eligible for immediate breast reconstruction. Our surgeons coordinate closely with plastic surgery teams to offer this option when medically appropriate.

How do I know which breast cancer surgery is right for me?

Your surgical plan depends on the type, size, and stage of cancer, as well as your overall health and preferences. Our team will guide you through your options with compassion and expertise.
