Breast cancer has various surgical treatment options and all are best done when the cancer is in its early stage. The surgery depends on the size, location and extent of the tumour(s).
- Lumpectomy: removal of the tumour only.
- Quadrantectomy: removal of the quadrant of the breast where the tumour is located.
- Mastectomy: removal of the entire breast.
