Deciding Between Lumpectomy and Mastectomy

Recently diagnosed breast cancer patients may be wondering about the surgical options available to them. There are many things to consider when making a choice of this nature. Dr. Robert Wascher offers some help for women facing a choice between lumpectomy and mastectomy. He says that 90% of women diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States are eligible for breast conserving surgery, or lumpectomy. Some patients may believe that removing the entire breast, or mastetctomy, is better than a lumpectomy. Dr. Wascher points out those times when mastectomy may be more beneficial. Every cancer is different, as is every treatment. Talk to your doctors to ensure you are getting the best quality care possible.
