Lumpectomy Surgery

Lumpectomy Surgery is available through Vitable Health at a published cash price, paid when you book.

A lumpectomy is a surgical procedure used in the treatment of breast cancer or to remove a lump or tumor from the breast. The procedure is considered breast-conserving surgery, aiming to remove the tumor while preserving as much of the healthy breast tissue as possible. During a lumpectomy, the patient is typically placed under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort. The surgeon makes an incision at or near the site of the tumor and carefully removes the tumor along with a small margin of surrounding healthy tissue to ensure that all cancerous cells are excised. This tissue is then sent to a pathologist for examination to confirm that the margins are clear of cancer.| Lumpectomies are a crucial part of the breast cancer treatment process and are often followed by radiation therapy to further reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. The goal of a lumpectomy is not only to effectively treat the cancer but also to provide a more cosmetically favorable outcome compared to a full mastectomy, where the entire breast is removed. Patients considering a lumpectomy should have a clear understanding of the procedure, potential side effects, and the importance of follow-up treatments as advised by their healthcare team.
