Which is better, breast conservation or radical resection?
|
Many people are very afraid of cancer. In fact, some cancers can be alleviated through treatment. For example, breast cancer is a disease that women are prone to. The components of women's breasts include skin, fibrous tissue, mammary glands and fat. The so-called breast cancer is a malignant tumor that grows on the breast. So which one is better, breast-conserving surgery or radical resection? First, which is better, breast-conserving surgery or radical mastectomy? A large number of clinical experiments have shown that the survival rate after radical mastectomy and breast-conserving surgery is the same. The technical proficiency of the surgeon, the conditions for performing the surgery, and postoperative adjuvant therapy are crucial to improving the survival rate after breast cancer surgery. Due to differences in technology and cultural concepts, the proportion of breast conservation in European and American countries is 40% to 70%. However, the proportion of women choosing breast-conserving surgery in China is only around 10%. Second, relevant hospitals have conducted incomplete statistics and found that the divorce rate of patients who choose to have a mastectomy is higher than that of patients who choose to preserve the breast. This is why many people prefer breast conservation. In addition to the lactation function, breasts are also very important to women's appearance and psychological effects, and the psychological effects have a certain impact on the body's immune function. Losing breasts will undoubtedly bring great pain to women. After a breast removal surgery, women suffer both physical and psychological damage - physical disability and family breakdown. Therefore, most doctors, while respecting the patient's wishes and providing that the breast can be preserved, recommend breast-conserving surgery to their patients. Which is better, breast conservation or radical resection? The above content introduces it. So, in what situations is breast conservation surgery suitable? There is some distance between the nipple and areola and the tumor: If the tumor is located behind the nipple and areola, this situation is generally not suitable for breast conservation surgery. The farther the tumor is from the nipple and areola, the more favorable it is for breast-conserving surgery and breast shape reconstruction. The tumor does not exceed 3 cm: If the tumor is too large, the scope of surgical resection will be larger. For Chinese women, the breasts are not very full, and the effect of breast preservation cannot be achieved after surgery. On the contrary, if the range of the lump is reduced, the scope of resection will be smaller. However, if the range of resection is reduced, the lump is often not completely removed, which can easily cause breast cancer recurrence. Breast-conserving surgery is only recommended for women whose lumps are smaller than 3 centimeters in diameter and whose breasts are of a certain size. For some breast cancer patients, after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the breast tumor is reduced to less than 3 cm or completely untouchable, and they are also suitable candidates for breast-conserving surgery. No multiple lesions in the breast: Patients with multiple lesions in the breast are not suitable for breast-conserving surgery. In this case, even if breast-conserving surgery is performed, there is no guarantee that there will be no tumor residue in the breast after surgery. It is recommended to have a breast MRI before surgery to understand whether there are other lesions in the breast. No lymphadenopathy: Patients with large lumps, edema, or enlarged axillary lymph nodes are not suitable for breast-conserving surgery. |
