What is breast cancer surgery?

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.

Am I a candidate, and what should I expect?

You may be a candidate if:

  • You’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer or a suspicious breast finding needing surgery
  • You need a biopsy, lumpectomy, mastectomy, or lymph node evaluation
  • You want a surgeon who will coordinate with your broader cancer-care team

What to expect:

  • A consultation to review your diagnosis, imaging, and pathology together
  • A clear discussion of lumpectomy vs. mastectomy and lymph node staging
  • Care coordinated with medical and radiation oncology for a complete plan

Recovery:

  • Recovery varies with the procedure — from outpatient biopsy to a short hospital stay
  • A written after-care plan and close follow-up with your surgical team
  • Coordination of any further treatment (radiation, medical oncology) as needed

Surgical approaches

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.

Frequently asked questions

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.
