Large breast lump: It all depends on what the diagnosis is. Usually, the diagnosis is made prior to operation, so the surgeon can plan ahead. A core needle biopsy established the diagnosis in the vast majoritynofninstances and is the first choice in the U.S.

Lumpectomy is a...: ...Minor outpatient operation often performed under twilight anesthesia. Important considerations include the type of lump (benign vs malignant), its location in the breast, & the size of the lump relative to the breast. Oncoplastic surgery involves applying plastic surgical approaches to cancer surgery to reach the most aesthetic results. Be sure and ask your surgeon about this.
