Cancer surgery may be used to achieve one or more goals. Common reasons you might undergo cancer surgery include:
Surgery is often combined with other cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation. Whether you opt to undergo additional cancer treatment depends on your type of cancer and its stage.
In most cases, you will need many tests in the days or weeks before your surgery, especially if a major operation is planned. These tests are done to make sure your body is able to go through surgery and the drugs that will be used. They may also be done to help doctors better understand your condition and to help them plan the surgery. You may not need all of the tests listed here (especially if you are having a minor procedure in a doctor’s office).
But The Tests Most Often Used Include:
Your doctor will also ask you questions about high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions that could affect surgery. It is important that you let your doctor know about any allergic reactions you’ve had in the past, including reactions to foods or other substances.
Side effects of these operations can include pain, temporary swelling, tenderness, and hard scar tissue that forms in the surgical site. As with all operations, bleeding and infection at the surgery site are also possible.
The larger the portion of a breast removed, the more likely it is that there will be a noticeable change in the shape of the breast afterward. Suppose the breasts look very different after surgery. In that case, it may be possible to have some type of reconstructive surgery or to have the unaffected breast reduced in size to make the breasts more symmetrical. It may even be possible to have this done during the initial surgery. It’s very important to talk with your doctor (and possibly a plastic surgeon) before surgery to get an idea of how your breasts are likely to look afterward, and to learn what your options might be.
