Can Surgery Be Made For Removing Cancer Tissue?
HELLO, I JUST HAD SURGERY TWO WEEKS AGO ON MY RT BREAST, THEY FOUND CANCER CELLS IN MY MILK DUCT TISSUE. THEY GOT IT IN TIME. I AM AT STAGE ZERO. I DID THE GENE TEST AND IF IT COMES OUT NEGATIVE, I WOULD NEED SURGERY ON MY RT BREAST,SO THEY CAN SCRAPE OUT THE REST OF THE TISSUE CELLS THEY FOUND. AND I WOULD HAVE TO GET RADIATION, BUT IF IT COMES OUT POSITIVE, I WOULD NEED A FULL MACETOMY AND HISTERECTOMY. CAN THEY DO THAT SURGERY AT THE SAME TIME?

If it is stage 0, you need simply lumpectomy and no hysterectomy. Further treatment will depend upon the receptor assay. May be you need brachytherapy only and a follow-up only.
