Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER.
Each case is unique. These are questions that you should be asking the breast surgeon.
A small amount of tissue is taken during a biopsy. The sample is examined and it is determined if it is cancerous or non cancerous and the type of cancer.
A lumpectomy is a surgical operation in which a lump is removed from the breast, typically when cancer is present but has not spread.
