WHAT DOES LUMPECTOMY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Lumpectomy

Lumpectomy is a common surgical procedure designed to remove a discrete lump, usually a malignant tumor or breast cancer, from an affected woman's or man's breast. As the tissue removed is usually limited and the procedure relatively non-invasive, compared to a mastectomy, a lumpectomy is considered a viable means of "breast conservation" or "breast preservation" surgery with all the attendant physical and emotional advantages of such an approach. According to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines, lumpectomy may be performed for ductal carcinoma in situ, for invasive ductal carcinoma, or for other conditions.

Definition of lumpectomy in the English dictionary

The definition of lumpectomy in the dictionary is the surgical removal of a tumour in a breast.
