| 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. |
| 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. |
| Now not everybody is a candidate for what we call breast conservation, that is just doing a lumpectomy and radiation. |
| Following a mastectomy or lumpectomy, drains and drainage bags can be carried in the pouch. |
| Following lumpectomy, local recurrence is usually at the surgical site and can be treated with mastectomy. |
