How is Breast Conservation Performed?

The surgical procedure involves:
Pre-surgical planning: This includes imaging tests like mammography, ultrasound, and MRI to determine the exact location and size of the tumor.
Surgical removal: The surgeon removes the tumor along with a small margin of surrounding healthy tissue to ensure complete excision.
Pathological examination: The removed tissue is examined to confirm the margins are free of cancer cells.
Radiation therapy: Post-operative radiation is administered to eradicate any residual microscopic cancer cells.
