00:00 Introduction

00:24 There are two types of breast cancer surgery
1. Breast conservation surgeries
- Breast conservation surgeries are surgical procedures aimed at removing the cancerous tumor from the breast while preserving as much of the healthy breast tissue as possible.
- The primary goal is to treat breast cancer effectively while maintaining the cosmetic appearance of the breast.
- Breast conservation surgeries are often followed by radiation therapy to target any remaining cancer cells in the breast.
- These surgeries are generally considered for early-stage breast cancer, and their feasibility depends on factors such as tumor size, location, and the patient's overall health.

2. Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM)
- A Modified Radical Mastectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of the entire breast, including the breast tissue, nipple, areola, and some axillary lymph nodes (lymph node dissection), while preserving the pectoral muscles.
- This type of mastectomy is a common approach for treating breast cancer, particularly when the tumor is larger or involves nearby lymph nodes.

00:52 Which surgery should be done in which case?
1. Breast conservation surgery is performed when the tumor is small.
2. Modified Radical Mastectomy is performed when the tumor is large, and the size of the breast is comparatively smaller.

02:16 Is Breast conservative surgery is inferior to Mastectomy?
No, The choice between breast conservation surgery (BCS) and mastectomy is not about one being inherently inferior or superior to the other. Both approaches have their own merits and considerations, and the decision often depends on various factors, including the stage of cancer, tumor size, location, and individual patient preferences.

02:55 Is it necessary to do Plastic surgery?
Plastic surgery, particularly breast reconstruction, is not mandatory after breast cancer surgery. Whether or not to undergo plastic surgery is a personal choice and depends on individual preferences, medical considerations, and the specific circumstances of the patient.

03:56 Conclusion
The array of options for breast cancer surgery, including Breast Conservation Surgery and various Mastectomy approaches, underscores the importance of personalized care. Tailoring interventions to individual needs and collaborating with healthcare teams empowers patients in their journey toward effective treatment and recovery.
