The Columbia University Comprehensive Breast Center at Lawrence Hospital Center for Advanced Surgery offers a wide range of breast cancer treatments.
Some of our breast cancer surgery options include the following:
- Oncoplastic lumpectomy-- This breast cancer surgery includes a large lumpectomy, followed by reconstructive surgery to restore the breast to a natural shape.
- Skin sparing mastectomy-- This breast cancer surgery removes the cancerous breast tissue, but leaves the skin intact. The skin is then restored to a natural shape through breasts implants, or the patient’s own tissue.
- Nipple-preserving mastectomy-- This breast cancer surgery is performed along with a skin sparing mastectomy, and preserves the nipple so it will not have to be surgically reconstructed.
- Sentinel node biopsy-- This breast cancer surgery is diagnostic in nature, and seeks to determine if cancer has spread to the lymph nodes.
- Axillary lymph node dissection-- In the event that cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, this breast cancer surgery seeks to remove the cancerous tissues.
- Surgery for recurrent disease-- It takes special skill to perform surgery for recurrent breast cancer, but our experienced surgeons will be able to take care of you even with this difficult condition.
