How are breast tumors treated? Treatment of breast tumors

Breast tumor is a common breast disease and is generally benign. Many times women with breast tumors do not have any obvious symptoms and may only discover a lump accidentally. If a breast tumor is discovered, it must be treated promptly and surgical treatment is generally recommended.

1. Western medicine treatment of breast tumors

1. After the tumor is removed, the doctor will perform rapid frozen sections and ordinary paraffin sections to understand the nature of the tumor. To be precise, this is the true diagnosis;

2. After the tumor is completely removed by surgery, it can prevent the tumor from continuing to grow, and it also has a positive significance in preventing the tumor from becoming cancerous;

3. So far, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy and any other Chinese and Western medicine treatments have no reliable effect on breast fibroadenoma. Surgery is considered to be the only reliable treatment method.

4. The surgery does not leave a large scar, as some patients worry, and will not affect the appearance of the breast and future breastfeeding. Facts have proved that this worry is completely unnecessary. Breast fibroid surgery not only does not affect the appearance of the breast and breastfeeding function;

5. Even if it has been diagnosed as breast fibroadenoma, the tumor may grow faster during the waiting process. If breastfeeding and pregnancy are excluded, the doctor should consider the tumor as mucinous or malignant. If the breast is removed at that time, the loss will be even more serious.

6. If breast fibroadenoma occurs in the accessory breast, it can be removed at the same time during surgery, so that both diseases can be treated reasonably.
