Breast Cancer Surgery Osceola County, Florida

Nearly all women who receive the news that they have been diagnosed with breast cancer will undergo some sort of invasive procedure as part of their treatment or diagnosis. The extent of breast cancer surgery may range from removal of a small piece of breast tissue or lymph nodes under the arm, to the removal of one or both of the entire breasts. The Osceola Cancer Center in Osceola County, Florida has the expertise and care to successfully treat those who are looking for breast surgery procedures.

The purpose of different types of breast surgery is to manage the cancer. Breast surgery can be used to obtain a tissue sample for determining an accurate diagnosis. And it can also determine the stage of the cancer and whether or not additional treatment is necessary, or to treat the cancer locally. Surgery may be able to remove cancer cells in or near the breast, but it cannot treat other areas of the body where the breast cancer cells may have spread. In this case, chemotherapy or hormonal therapy may be implemented to treat these areas. The Osceola Cancer Center watches your condition closely and will assess what your options are.

The breast surgery procedures to manage breast cancer include:

- Biopsy
- Mastectomy
- Lumpectomy
- Axillary Lymph Node Evaluation
- Axillary Lymph Node Dissection
- Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
- Breast Reconstruction
- Breast Implants
- Autologous Reconstruction of the Breast
