Breast-conserving surgery (BCS), also called lumpectomy or wide local excision, is an operation that removes a breast tumour along with a small rim of healthy surrounding tissue while leaving the rest of the breast intact. It is the standard surgical option for most patients with early-stage invasive breast cancer (Stage I and II) or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), offering long-term survival outcomes equivalent to mastectomy when followed by radiation therapy. The surgeon removes the tumour with clear margins — meaning no cancer cells at the cut edges — and may simultaneously perform sentinel lymph node biopsy to check whether the cancer has spread to the armpit. Oncoplastic techniques may be used to reshape the remaining breast tissue and preserve a natural appearance. Most patients are discharged within two to four days and proceed to radiation therapy within three to eight weeks of surgery.
The tumour is removed through a direct incision with a clear tissue margin; the first draining lymph nodes are sampled to check for spread, with no breast reshaping.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000

Done in India before hospital admission.
