• Mastectomy: Surgical removal of the entire breast, either as a treatment for breast cancer or as a preventive measure in high-risk individuals
• Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy: Removal and examination of the first few lymph nodes to which a tumor is likely to spread, to determine if cancer has spread beyond the breast
• Axillary Lymph Node Dissection: Surgical removal of multiple lymph nodes in the underarm region to assess the extent of cancer spread in breast cancer patients
• Breast-Conserving Surgery: Any surgical procedure that aims to remove breast cancer while preserving as much of the breast's appearance and function as possible
