Breast Cancer
Mastectomy is a process where the whole breast is removed in order to prevent the cancerous breast cells from spreading into other parts of the body. While a simple mastectomy only removes a few things like the breast tissue, a modified radical mastectomy removes the entire breast. In a double mastectomy, both the diseased breasts are removed.
The breast conservation surgery is less radical than mastectomy and only removes the breast tissue instead of the entire breast. Lumpectomy combined with radiation therapy is often referred to as breast conservation therapy. Radiation therapy for breast cancer is almost always recommended after surgery that removes only the tumour.
Fibroadenoma is a non-cancerous tumour and the process of its removal is called excisional breast biopsy. Fibroadenomas are common in young women. Treatment might include monitoring to detect changes in size or feel, a biopsy to evaluate the lump or surgery to remove it.
