Leaders in Surgical Care
A breast cancer diagnosis is frightening — having an experienced surgical team beside you matters. If you need breast cancer surgery in Aurora, Colorado, the surgeons at Mountain View Surgical bring advanced, minimally invasive care to the south Denver metro — see patients at 1421 S Potomac St #220, Aurora, CO 80012, near the I-225 Aurora medical corridor, serving Hampden, Village East and the wider Aurora area.
Breast cancer surgery removes cancer from the breast and, when needed, checks whether it has spread to nearby lymph nodes. The main options are a lumpectomy (breast-conserving surgery, which removes the tumor and a margin of tissue) and a mastectomy (removal of the breast), sometimes with sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary node dissection to stage the disease. The right operation depends on the type and stage of the cancer and on your preferences. Our surgeons provide compassionate, comprehensive breast care and coordinate closely with your oncology team so every step of your treatment fits together.

What to expect:
Recovery:
Whenever it is appropriate, our surgeons use minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic (da Vinci) techniques for breast cancer surgery, which generally mean smaller incisions, less pain, and a faster recovery than open surgery. Your surgeon will recommend the safest, most effective approach for your specific condition. Learn more about our robotic surgery program.

For Aurora patients, that means expert breast cancer surgery without the drive into central Denver. Our team coordinates care with the I-225 Aurora medical corridor, and we’re easy to reach for families in Hampden, Village East, Heather Gardens and along I-225 and S Parker Road.
What’s the difference between a lumpectomy and a mastectomy?
A lumpectomy removes the tumor plus a margin of surrounding tissue while preserving the breast; a mastectomy removes the whole breast. The best choice depends on the cancer’s type and stage and on your own preferences — your surgeon will help you weigh them.
Will I need my lymph nodes checked?
Often, yes. A sentinel lymph node biopsy checks whether cancer has spread to the first nodes that drain the breast, which helps stage the disease and guide treatment. Your surgeon will explain whether it’s needed.
How quickly can I be seen after a diagnosis?
We prioritize new breast cancer diagnoses and work to see you promptly. Call the office and our team will help arrange a timely consultation.
Will you coordinate with my oncologist?
Yes. Breast cancer care is a team effort — we work closely with medical and radiation oncology so that surgery fits into your overall treatment plan.
