Breast Cancer Surgery

Most core biopsies are performed when a mammogram or ultrasound shows an abnormality in the breast. 

Hidden Scar Breast Cancer Surgery is an advanced approach to removing breast cancer. 

Women & Infants Hospital is the first hospital in the region to use LOCalizer™.

Surgeons at Women & Infants are trained in the most advanced oncoplastic surgery techniques for removing the cancerous tissue while also reforming the breast into a normal shape.

• Total Mastectomy
• Modified Mastectomy
• Radical Mastectomy

If a biopsy shows that the breast cancer has spread outside the milk duct, the surgeon will remove 10 to 40 lymph nodes from under the arm during a lumpectomy or mastectomy surgery to check if the cancer has spread. 

This procedure is often done to check the lymph nodes for cancer without removing as many of the lymph nodes. 

Breast reconstruction surgery is the rebuilding of the breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy.
