Find Out if a Lumpectomy Is Right for You

LEARN MORE ABOUT LUMPECTOMY SURGERY IN TOMS RIVER, NJ TODAY! CALL BARBARA SCHNEIDER, MD, FACS TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT

Although your mind might jump to a mastectomy when you think of breast cancer surgery, a lumpectomy may be an excellent option for you. A lumpectomy is a procedure in which only part of the breast is removed instead of the whole breast.

To learn whether a lumpectomy is right for you, call Barbara Schneider, MD, FACS today. We'll schedule an appointment with you and go over your options.

WE FOLLOW UP WITH RIGOROUS TESTING

If your cancer cells are clustered in a small area, most surgeons will opt to perform a lumpectomy. A lumpectomy:

  • Allows the surgeon to preserve most of the breast
  • Is less extensive than a mastectomy
  • Often allows patients to go home shortly after the surgery
  • Has a low chance of local recurrence


After your procedure, we'll follow up with tests to make sure there are no remaining cancer cells. 

Speak with an experienced breast cancer specialist in Toms River, NJ today to learn more about lumpectomy surgery.
