Breast lump removal is surgery to remove a lump that may be breast cancer. Tissue around the lump is also removed. This surgery is called an excisional breast biopsy, or lumpectomy. Sometimes, the health care provider cannot feel the lump when examining you. However, it can be seen in imaging results. In this case, a wire localization will be done before the surgery. Breast lump removal is done as an outpatient surgery most of the time. You will be given general anesthesia (you will be asleep, but pain-free) or local anesthesia (you are awake, but sedated and pain-free). The procedure takes about 1 hour. The surgeon makes a small cut on your breast. Cancer and some of the normal breast tissue around it is removed. A pathologist examines a sample of the removed tissue to make sure all cancer has been taken out. Sometimes, small metal clips will be placed inside the breast to mark the area of tissue removal. This makes the area easy to see on future mammograms. It also helps guide radiation therapy, when needed.
