Description
Making decisions after a breast cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to choosing between lumpectomy and mastectomy.

We discuss:
- What lumpectomy and mastectomy involve
- When each surgery is recommended
- Factors like tumor size, location, and genetic risks
