Brief Answer:
Surgery most important

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns.

Phyllodes tumor is an uncommon tumor of the breast. It can be benign, borderline malignant or frankly malignant(cancerous).

In any case, surgery gives the best results. If small, only tumor containing part of breast removed. If large, then whole breast has to be removed.

If you can share some relevant reports, I might be able to guide you better.

Hope this helps.

Brief Answer:
Need to know details of the surgeries

Detailed Answer:
Without that, very difficult to suggest anything. If whole breast not removed and tumor recurring within same breast, then whole breast should be removed.
