 Hello, I am Dr. Poonam Patil working as Medical Oncologist in Manipal Hospital here in Bangalore. Breasts are considered to be a sign of femininity. So, any talk of cutting the breast in any way traumatizes a woman. And now in this era, it is the era of organ preservation. So, there are modalities with which even if there is a cancer in the breast, there can be breast-conserving surgeries done. But it is between the operating surgeon and the patient to decide first whether breast conservation is feasible or not. If it is not feasible, then either the entire breast needs to be removed or we give something known as new adjuvant chemotherapy where the tumor size comes down after giving chemotherapy so that breast conservation becomes feasible. So, these things need to be discussed with the operating surgeon before going for surgery.
