Breast-Conserving Surgery (BCS)
Breast-conserving surgery, also known as lumpectomy or partial mastectomy, is a procedure that removes cancerous tissue from the breast while preserving as much of the normal breast as possible. It is commonly performed for early-stage breast cancer and is often followed by radiation therapy to reduce the risk of recurrence. The main goal of BCS is to achieve complete cancer removal while maintaining the shape and appearance of the breast. The extent of tissue removal depends on the tumor size and location, and in some cases, lymph nodes in the armpit may also be removed for evaluation

Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM)
Modified radical mastectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the entire breast along with the axillary lymph nodes while preserving the pectoral (chest) muscles. It is commonly performed for invasive breast cancer to prevent the spread of the disease. Compared to a radical mastectomy, which also removes the chest muscles, MRM provides effective cancer treatment with less impact on arm movement and strength. After MRM, patients may require additional treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, or hormone therapy, depending on the stage of cancer.

Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure to restore the shape, appearance, and symmetry of the breast following a mastectomy or lumpectomy. Reconstruction can be performed using different techniques, including implant-based reconstruction (using silicone or saline implants) or autologous tissue reconstruction (using tissue from the patient's own body, such as the abdomen or back). The procedure may be done immediately after mastectomy (immediate reconstruction) or at a later stage (delayed reconstruction). The goal of breast reconstruction is to improve the physical and emotional well-being of patients by restoring a natural breast contour.
