The surgeons at Norton Surgical Specialists – Breast Health — St. Matthews perform breast cancer surgery as well as surgery for conditions unrelated to breast surgical oncology.

• Breast cancer surgery involves removing all or part of the breast and possibly nearby tissue if there is lymph node involvement.
• Cancer risk reduction surgery removes breast tissue based on the patient’s risk of developing cancer, often guided by genetic testing.
• Benign breast lumpectomy removes noncancerous lumps from breast tissue.
• Breast reconstruction surgery often follows cancer surgery.
• Breast reduction surgery can help relieve back pain.

A mastectomy, which removes all breast tissue, can be an option for patients with early-stage breast cancer. A less-aggressive approach removes only the tumor, a procedure called a lumpectomy.

Discuss openly with your breast surgeon about which option is right for you. 

The breast surgeons at Norton Surgical Specialists – Breast Health — St. Matthews are experienced with new procedures that can preserve breast skin. A skin-sparing mastectomy can provide a more natural breast appearance after surgery.

Reconstructive surgery may be done at the same time as your mastectomy. Your Norton Cancer Institute breast cancer surgeon works as a team with medical oncology and radiation oncology specialists if they are needed for your care.
