Before performing cystectomy, the doctor usually gives the patient the following information:
Specific instructions for the patient in the days before surgery. Give an overview of surgical procedures. Provides information on postoperative recovery and follow-up care. Cystectomy usually takes about 1-2 hours. During surgery, the doctor will use small metal clips inside the patient's breast to help them find the exact area of the tumor that needs to be removed.
In addition, your doctor may also check your lymph nodes during surgery. For a sentinel node biopsy, a radioactive tracer or blue dye is injected into the area around the breast lump. These substances will travel in the same way that cancer cells do. This helps the doctor spot any lymph nodes that need to be taken for more specific testing.
The removed breast tissue or lymph nodes will be taken to a laboratory where tests will help determine the type of tumor, whether the disease has spread to the lymph nodes and whether the cancer has spread. stimulated by hormones or not.
Several other tests may also be done to find the best treatment for the patient. It usually takes a few days to determine the exact type of tumor, and specific test results.
