Excision or Lumpectomy
When indicated, we may choose to remove the benign or malignant mass in a hospital setting.
Axillary Dissection
At times we may have to remove all the lymph nodes in the armpit to determine if the cancer has spread.
Partial or Total Mastectomy
Sometimes it may be necessary to remove all of the breast tissue in a hospital setting.
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
As an alternative to axillary dissection, sometimes we can identify the first lymph node in the pathway from the tumor and remove just that lymph node.
