Breast Cancer Surgery Options: Lumpectomy vs. Mastectomy

β€’ DR. CHRISTINA NG VAN TZE

Making decisions after a breast cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to choosing between lumpectomy and mastectomy. In this episode, we explore the key differences between these two surgical options β€” from procedure types and recovery times to emotional well-being and body image considerations.

We discuss:

  • What lumpectomy and mastectomy involve
  • When each surgery is recommended
  • Factors like tumor size, location, and genetic risks
  • Emotional impact and post-surgical reconstruction options
  • How to talk with your care team about your best path forward

Although Onco Life Centre does not perform surgery in-house, we collaborate closely with expert surgeons to ensure patients receive a complete and coordinated treatment plan.

🎧 Listen now to better understand your options and make informed decisions for your health.
