    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Diagnostic errors in breast cancer often stem from assuming symptoms are benign.
    • Physical examination and mammography can identify suspicious lesions requiring further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To emphasize the critical role of accurate biopsy and complete surgical excision in achieving breast cancer cure.
    • To highlight the importance of surgical principles in minimizing complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Physical examination and mammography for initial lesion detection.
    • Biopsy for definitive diagnosis of palpable and mammographically suspicious lesions.
    • Surgical intervention including total mastectomy and axillary node dissection.

    Main Results:

    • Accurate biopsy is essential to avoid diagnostic errors.
    • Complete removal of the tumor and affected tissue reduces recurrence.
    • Axillary node dissection aids in cure and provides prognostic data.

    Conclusions:

    • Definitive diagnosis through biopsy and complete surgical resection are paramount for breast cancer treatment success.
    • Adherence to surgical principles minimizes complications, prioritizing cure over cosmetic outcomes.
