About Lumpectomy (Breast-Conserving Surgery)
The surgeon removes the tumour through a small incision, often marking its position beforehand with a wire, seed or clip if it cannot be felt. The specimen is checked for clear edges, and a sentinel lymph node biopsy is often done at the same time. Oncoplastic techniques reshape the breast to keep a natural contour. Further surgery is sometimes needed if the margins are not clear.
For suitable early cancers, lumpectomy with radiotherapy gives survival similar to mastectomy. The cosmetic result depends on tumour size relative to breast size, location, healing and radiotherapy effects. Hormone therapy, chemotherapy or targeted treatment may follow, depending on the tumour's features, and regular mammograms continue afterwards.
Lumpectomy is often a day-case or one-night stay, and most people recover within a few weeks. Radiotherapy, usually given over three to six weeks, normally begins a few weeks later, so discuss whether it can be done at home. Bring mammogram, biopsy and pathology reports, and arrange a follow-up for wound checks and results.
Usually a good fit if
- Early-stage breast cancer small enough relative to breast size to remove with a good cosmetic result.
- A single area of cancer that can be fully removed with clear margins.
- Able to have radiotherapy afterwards, which is normally part of breast conservation.
May need to wait if
- Widespread or multiple cancers in different quadrants may need a mastectomy.
- Previous radiotherapy to the same breast or chest generally prevents repeat radiation.
- Pregnancy or conditions such as active lupus or scleroderma may make radiation unsafe.
How to prepare
- Bring mammogram, ultrasound, MRI and biopsy reports with receptor status.
- If the tumour is not palpable, expect a marker placement visit before surgery.
- Ask your doctor about adjusting blood thinners and supplements before the operation.
- Discuss whether chemotherapy or hormone therapy will come before surgery.
- Plan for radiotherapy afterwards, as it usually takes a few weeks of daily sessions.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Is lumpectomy as safe as mastectomy for my tumour?
- How will margins be checked, and what happens if they are not clear?
- Will a sentinel node biopsy be done at the same time?
- How will my breast look afterwards, and are oncoplastic techniques available?
- Will I need radiotherapy, chemotherapy or hormone therapy, and in what order?
- Can radiotherapy be given near my home?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Lumpectomy is offered without a mammogram, ultrasound or biopsy-confirmed diagnosis.
- Surgeon cannot explain margin checking or what happens if margins are involved.
- No plan for radiotherapy after surgery.
- Pressure to proceed before staging and receptor tests are complete.

Is lumpectomy as good as mastectomy?
For suitable early cancers, studies show similar survival when lumpectomy is combined with radiotherapy. Your surgeon will advise based on tumour size and location.
Will I need a second operation?
Sometimes, if margins contain cancer cells. This happens in a minority of cases and may mean further local excision or mastectomy.
Will my breast shape change?
There may be some change in size or contour. Oncoplastic techniques can reduce this, and radiotherapy can cause slight firmness.
Do I always need radiotherapy?
Usually yes after breast conservation. In select older women with low-risk cancers, it may sometimes be omitted, which your team will discuss.
