Lumpectomy
Lumpectomy is a common surgical procedure designed to remove a discrete lump, usually a tumor, benign or otherwise, from an affected man or woman's breast. As the tissue removed is generally quite limited and the procedure relatively non-invasive, compared to a mastectomy, a lumpectomy is considered a viable means of 'breast conservation' or 'breast preservation' surgery with all the attendant physical and emotional advantages of such an approach.
