Key takeaways: Breast Surgery

  • Triple assessment — Examination, imaging (ultrasound or mammogram) and a needle biopsy, taken together. No breast lump should be operated on — or dismissed — before those three agree.
  • When to get a breast lump checked — Any new lump in the breast or armpit.
  • Assessed and performed at Advance Surgery Clinic, Dabgari Garden, Peshawar.

What does breast surgery cover?

Breast surgery here covers the benign and the malignant. Benign work includes excision of fibroadenomas, drainage of breast abscesses, and removal of other discrete benign lumps. Cancer surgery covers wide local excision, where the tumor is removed with a margin of normal tissue, and mastectomy, where the whole breast is removed.

Where cancer is confirmed, the armpit lymph nodes are assessed too, because whether the disease has reached them changes the treatment that follows. Surgery is one part of breast cancer care: chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone treatment are planned alongside it, and the sequence is decided by the stage and the type of tumor.

Assessed before any treatment is recommended.

When to get a breast lump checked

  • Any new lump in the breast or armpit
  • A change in the shape or size of the breast
  • Dimpling or puckering of the skin, or an orange-peel texture
  • A nipple that has turned inwards, or discharge, especially blood-stained
  • A painful, red, swollen breast, particularly while breastfeeding

An early assessment is what keeps the options open.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

The questions patients ask most often before booking this procedure.

No. Most breast lumps, particularly in younger women, are benign — commonly fibroadenomas or cysts. That is established by assessment rather than assumed.

Not always. A small fibroadenoma confirmed benign on triple assessment can be watched. Removal is considered if it is large, growing, or causing symptoms.

Not necessarily. Many cancers are treated by wide local excision with a margin of normal tissue. Whether that is possible depends on the size and position of the tumor.

The tissue removed is examined, and the result guides what follows — chemotherapy, radiotherapy or hormone treatment as needed.

Medical disclaimer

This page describes a procedure in general terms so patients know what to expect. It is not medical advice and cannot replace an examination. Whether a procedure suits you, and what your recovery looks like, depends on your diagnosis, imaging, general health and how you respond to treatment — which is why every plan is made in consultation.

If you have severe abdominal pain, heavy rectal bleeding, a hernia that has become hard and painful, or sudden difficulty breathing, seek urgent care rather than waiting for an appointment.
