Breast-conserving Surgery

A lumpectomy removes just a small portion of the breast that includes the area where the cancer is located. While it is often completed in an outpatient setting, you may have to receive other forms of treatment along with it. For example, you typically need radiation therapy to destroy any remaining cancer cells in the breast. In some cases, chemotherapy and radiation accompany lumpectomy.

Revolutionary Approach

如果你已经被诊断为早期乳腺癌，你可以完成手术和放疗同时进行术中放疗(IORT)。手术切除肿瘤后，放射肿瘤学家立即将集中剂量的辐射直接送到肿瘤的位置。加速治疗。根据你乳腺癌的类型、位置和阶段，乳房IORT可以消除或减少你需要的门诊放射治疗次数。

Fewer side effects. In addition to avoiding healthy surrounding tissues and critical organs, the targeted dose may decrease negative and unwanted side effects that can occur.

Improved convenience. By limiting or diminishing stress, hospital stays, travel and disruptions in daily life, breast IORT helps you focus less on cancer and instead move on with your life.

Removing Breast Cancer

A mastectomy removes the entire breast, and depending on where the cancer is found and the severity of it, some women will have both breasts removed. There are many different types of mastectomies with varying degrees of removal.

• A nipple sparing mastectomy removes all the breast tissue but leaves the breast skin and nipple area intact. For eligible patients whose cancer has not spread to the nipple area, a nipple-sparing mastectomy is a great option that provides considerable benefits for women included the breast looking almost unchanged.
• 改良的根治性乳房切除术会切除整个乳房、腋下的部分淋巴结，通常还会切除胸部肌肉的内膜。根据癌症的位置，在某些情况下可能需要切除一小部分肌肉。
• A simple mastectomy removes the whole breast and often the lining over your chest muscles.
• A radical mastectomy is completed in extremely rare cases and removes the whole breast, most to all of the lymph nodes under your arm, the lining over your chest muscles and the chest wall muscles under the breast bone.
