After skin cancer, breast cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed in American women. Breast cancer can affect both men and women, although it affects women significantly more.
The improvement of breast cancer detection and therapy has been boosted by significant support for breast cancer awareness and research funding. Breast cancer survival rates have grown, and the number of fatalities connected with the disease has progressively decreased. Factors such as early diagnosis, regular breast exams, a new customized approach to therapy or surgery, and a better knowledge of the disease are reasons for this.
Breast cancer surgery is an important part of breast cancer treatment that involves surgically removing the malignant tumor. Surgery for breast cancer can be used alone or in combination with other treatments such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and radiation therapy.
Breast cancer surgery may be an option for patients who have a very high risk of developing breast cancer in the future. The surgery is intended to remove cancer cells from your breast. If you select breast reconstruction, a procedure to put breast implants or reconstruct a breast from your own tissue (flap surgery) may be performed at the same time or later.
