Introduction to surgical treatment of breast cancer

Breast diseases are very serious for people and may even lead to breast cancer. Breast cancer is a malignant cancer that poses a great threat to women's life and health. It is one of the important diseases that cause cancer deaths in women. The treatment of breast cancer is mainly surgical. Therefore, it is necessary for people to understand the introduction of surgical treatment of breast cancer. Let me explain it to you below.

The choice of surgical method for breast cancer varies in different regions due to different medical conditions. In developed cities and developed regions with good medical conditions, "extended super-radical resection" has been completely abandoned and classic radical resection is rarely used because of the timely cooperation with postoperative comprehensive treatment. Simple mastectomy plus axillary lymph node dissection (Auchincloss surgery) is the most commonly used surgical method, and the Patey procedure of preserving the pectoralis major muscle and removing the pectoralis minor muscle is also commonly used. For the sake of beauty and reducing psychological trauma, many people undergo Auchincloss or Patey surgery, which are primary breast reconstruction to maintain beauty. Classic radical mastectomy is still the main surgery in primary hospitals, and modified radical mastectomy is also gradually being developed.

The choice of surgical method should be based on (1) clarifying the clinical stage of breast cancer; (2) comprehensively weighing the patient's medical conditions; and (3) selecting the surgical method based on the specific individual. For example, simple mastectomy is a reduction surgery that only removes the breast and the pectoralis major muscle fascia. This procedure is between modified surgery and partial resection. It does not have much advantage and is generally not used.

The above is an introduction to the surgical treatment of breast cancer. I hope that women can take a serious look at it. Breast cancer is a major disease that threatens women’s lives and women need to actively prevent it in their lives. There are currently few treatments for breast cancer, and continued research is needed. Therefore, it is imperative for women to protect their breast health in their lives.
