Treatments for breast cancer
Surgery
The goals of surgery for breast cancer is to remove the cancerous tissue and to analyze by type, grade, size, hormonal status, and possible metastasis.
Frozen sections. Mayo Clinic has the advantage of its unique frozen section pathology laboratory, which allows fast and accurate microscopic analysis tissue, while one patient is still in the operating room. This ability allows physicians to see if you have removed all the cancer (achieved negative margins) within minutes of tissue excision. Without frozen section analysis to determine if all cancer has been removed can take days, causing a patient to undergo multiple surgeries.
Breast Reconstruction
Many women decide to have a plastic surgeon reconstruct your breast, either at the time of mastectomy or later. The surgeon can use saline filled implants and / or tissues from other parts of the body to rebuild natural-looking one breast and nipple. Reconstruction should be discussed with a plastic surgeon before having a mastectomy. California law requires insurers cover the costs of breast reconstruction.
