The goal of breast cancer surgery is to excise the tumor and a portion of the surrounding tissues while conserving the breast. Breast cancer surgery methods may vary in the amount of breast tissue which is removed with the tumor. This depends on the overall tumor location, how far it has spread, as well as one’s personal feelings. The surgeons also remove some lymph nodes under this arm so that these can be removed.
