Breast Surgery

Lancaster General Health offers breast surgery to diagnose and treat both cancerous and non-cancerous breast diseases. Our skilled surgeons have experience with the full range of procedures, from needle biopsy to mastectomy.

Surgery for Benign Breast Disease

We offer surgery for non-cancerous breast conditions including:

• Fibrocystic Breasts
• Fibroadenomas
• Breast Cysts

Surgery for Breast Cancer

If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer, we work with you and your oncology team to determine the best surgical approach. Our surgeons use the latest techniques for faster healing, better outcomes, and shorter, easier follow-up therapy.

Depending on the extent of the cancer, we may perform a lumpectomy to remove the lump and some normal tissue around it, or we may perform a partial or total mastectomy, removing all or part of the breast. In some cases, we may also remove underarm lymph nodes.
