Surgeons at the Top Ichilov Clinic Who Have Successfully Performed Lumpectomy on Thousands of Patients

The clinic employs sought-after, renowned surgeons who have mastered new techniques and methods for performing lumpectomy, which are as effective as more radical surgical interventions such as mastectomy.

Lumpectomy: At Top Ichilov, Everything Will Be Done to Preserve Your Breast

Lumpectomy at Top Ichilov is performed using organ-sparing technologies. The surgical techniques allow for the removal of the tumor within healthy tissue of the gland. The use of modern surgical instruments not only maximally preserves the breast but also avoids the risks of significant blood loss associated with outdated lumpectomy techniques.

Stages of the Operation:

This organ-sparing intervention involves the removal of the tumor within healthy tissues. The amount of tissue removed by the clinic's surgeons is determined based on the histological nature of the tumor, its size, and the histological analysis data obtained during the operation;

The operation is performed under general anesthesia;

• The location and shape of the incision depend on the tumor's localization and are chosen to leave an optimal cosmetic effect. This serves as a significant psychological factor for the patient's faster postoperative recovery. For tumors located in the central quadrant of the gland, the access is either arcuate or periareolar. For tumors in the lower quadrant, a radial incision is made;
• During the operation, the surgeon palpates the cancerous tumor and excises it along with a small amount of healthy tissue. The excision is carried out to the fascia of the pectoral muscle;
• The excised areas are frozen and immediately sent to the laboratory for microscopic examination of the surgical margin. If cancer cells are absent in the margin areas, the excision has been successful and the tumor has been completely removed;
• In some cases, axillary lymph nodes are additionally removed. Often, the so-called "sentinel" lymph node, which is closest to the tumor, is removed. The absence of cancer cells in it indicates no metastasis.

The operation usually takes no more than 1-3 hours. Two hours after its completion, the patient is transferred to the surgical department, where she remains under observation for 1-2 days.

As an independent treatment method, lumpectomy at the Top Ichilov clinic is used for small tumor sizes.

Surgical treatment of breast cancer, of which lumpectomy is one type, is the primary method of treating this disease at the Top Ichilov clinic. It is often combined with postoperative radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and the use of biological and hormonal agents. A comprehensive approach to treating breast cancer increases the chances of success.

After discharge, specialists at the Top Ichilov clinic will provide comprehensive recommendations for the further treatment of the patient who has undergone lumpectomy. Individualizing the approach for each patient and maintaining high-quality medical care have been and remain an integral part of the work at the Top Ichilov clinic.

The lumpectomy operation has been and remains the primary method for combating the development and spread of cancer in the breast. Young women who do not undergo preventive examinations by a mammologist automatically fall into the risk groups for breast cancer and may later undergo this operation. It is not very common, but breast cancer statistics show that about 1% of patients with this diagnosis are men.

Lumpectomy at Top Ichilov: Diagnostic Measures Before the Operation

Immediately before the operation, the patient must undergo all necessary diagnostic procedures. These studies at the Top Ichilov clinic will allow for the most accurate determination of the tumor's localization, its size, and the selection of the optimal treatment scheme for breast cancer.

The main diagnostic procedures in preparation for lumpectomy include:

Tumor imaging methods:

• CT;
• PET;
• MRI;
• Mammographic examination;
• Ultrasound examination;
• Consultation with the leading mammologist of the clinic;

As well as:

• Tissue biopsy of the tumor;
• Fluorography;
• General and chemical blood tests, blood for electrolytes, coagulation, liver tests;
• ECG.

The diagnostic program before the lumpectomy operation at the Top Ichilov clinic is carried out in strict accordance with modern diagnostic protocols and is characterized by optimal timing and the acquisition of accurate results.
