| Typically, when a woman has breast cancer, she undergoes a lumpectomy to excise the cancer. |
|
| An early stage cancer will probably involve a lumpectomy, removing the lump and the breast tissue around it. |
|
| But then right after I came out, I think I found a lump in my breast that we thought was cancer, and I had to get a lumpectomy. |
|
| A fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the mass was performed followed by a lumpectomy with lymph node sampling. |
|
| Following lumpectomy, local recurrence is usually at the surgical site and can be treated with mastectomy. |
|
| One winter day an anxious young woman underwent a lumpectomy of her breast. |
|
| If these nodes do not have cancer, you will most likely not have to have any more surgery after your lumpectomy. |
|
| Most women with early breast cancer get offered a lumpectomy with radiation or a mastectomy. |
|
| She made a positive choice to have a mastectomy rather than a lumpectomy to ensure the cancer did not spread. |
|
| Following a mastectomy or lumpectomy, drains and drainage bags can be carried in the pouch. |
|
| In addition, the cancer was no more likely to metastasise in women who had had a lumpectomy than in women who had had a mastectomy. |
|
| She underwent a lumpectomy and completed radiation therapy, 9 months and 6 months, respectively, prior to the development of the scalp lesions. |
|
| Now not everybody is a candidate for what we call breast conservation, that is just doing a lumpectomy and radiation. |
|
| Her treatment was a course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy followed by a lumpectomy. |
|
| She sought a second opinion, and was told about lumpectomy, in which just the cancerous lump is excised, and she chose to have that procedure. |
|
| In some cases, for example if an invasive surgical biopsy or lumpectomy is needed, you may not be able to continue to breastfeed. |
|
| A year on from a lumpectomy and radiation therapy, now on aromatase inhibitors, my prognosis seemed good. |
|
| Keri Hanlon was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2009 and underwent a lumpectomy, chemotherapy and radiation, and then a mastectomy. |
|
| Even after the lumpectomy, my right breast was the same size from the swelling. |
|
| Besides, with another lumpectomy, I would need radiation and we lived 225 kms from the nearest site. |
|
|
|
| We were relieved that my lumpectomy was complete and the surgery was a success. |
|
| Circumstances allowed her to get immediate attention, and she had a mammogram, ultrasound, consultation and lumpectomy within one week. |
|
| On the surface it is, until you factor in the four or five weeks of radiation that follows a lumpectomy. |
|
| When I was offered lumpectomy or mastectomy I elected mastectomy given the higher costs of being away from my family. |
|
| The lumpectomy and axillary node dissection were done in Prince George, and the surgeon asked me to see him again the next week. |
|
| It may occur from a lumpectomy or mastectomy, radiation or lymph node removal. |
|
| It is important to remember that, at this point, the patient is facing a lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy with possible axillary dissection. |
|
| Due to lack of diagnostic information, the patient received cancer therapy that included a lumpectomy, lymph node dissection, and radiation therapy. |
|
| Medical history included a lumpectomy of the same breast 20 years earlier. |
|
| Fortunately, due to screening because of my family risk, my cancer was caught early and it was recommended I have a lumpectomy followed by radiation. |
|
| I went back to the surgeon and was booked for a lumpectomy. |
|
| Just over a year ago, that was me – in identical gown, in identical NHS-issue bed, coming round after an op, too, although in my case it was a lumpectomy – partial surgery rather than a full mastectomy. |
|
| While used primarily to treat prostate cancer, the number-two cause of cancer-related mortality in men, it has application in a range of other areas including breast cancer, following lumpectomy procedure. |
|
| Most often, a lumpectomy with an ellipse is carried out associated with a repositioning of the nipple-areolar complex to avoid the attraction of the areola to the outside. |
|
| MammoSite, as an adjunct to whole-breast irradiation, is used instead of conventional modalities to irradiate the lumpectomy site, and laboratory testing has shown it effective for this purpose. |
|
| Women whose breast cancer has not spread beyond the breast are generally treated by a lumpectomy, followed by radiation treatments five times a week for several weeks. |
|
| When I had a lumpectomy, they called it a simple lumpectomy. At the time I suggested that had been yet another oxymoron no such thing as a simple lumpectomy. |
|
| I had a lumpectomy followed by a mastectomy and chemo. |
|
| Procedures such as lumpectomy or mastectomy would apply. |
|
| After a consultation with her breast surgeon to discuss the upcoming lumpectomy, she was admitted to hospital, as the surgeon wanted her to recover a little before the surgery. |
|
|
|
| In 2000, I found a tiny hard spot just above my lumpectomy incision line. |
|
| The researchers sought to determine the comparative effectiveness of bilateral mastectomy, unilateral mastectomy, and lumpectomy plus radiation. |
|
| Insulin-like growth factor-I receptor overexpression mediates cellular radioresistance and local breast cancer recurrence after lumpectomy and radiation. |
