Mayo Clinic Minute: Treating breast cancer through surgery

Globally, 2.3 million women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year, according to the World Health Organization. Advances in the treatment of breast cancer are improving care and quality of life.
Treating breast cancer may include personalized therapies or surgery.
"There are only two surgical options: lumpectomy and mastectomy. But there are 100 reasons why women choose one thing or another," says Dr. Sarah McLaughlin, a Mayo Clinic breast surgical oncologist. "Some of that can be cancer-based, some of it can be family history and genetic, some of it can be personal peace of mind."
