A breast cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, and hearing that you may need breast surgery can add even more worry. Our surgeons are committed to guiding you with compassion, expertise and connected care every step of the way. We focus on providing the safest, most effective treatment options because your well-being is our top priority.
Many breast cancer patients require surgery to remove the tumor as part of their treatment plan. Our breast surgeons work closely with a full team of specialists, including oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists and diagnostic experts to ensure you receive coordinated, comprehensive care. Surgical options may include lumpectomy, partial mastectomy, mastectomy or stereotactic breast biopsy, depending on your diagnosis and personal needs.
During surgery, your Baptist Medical Group surgeon may also examine the lymph nodes under the arm to see if cancer has spread to that area. Every step is designed to support your healing, protect your health and help you move forward with confidence.
Baptist offers several breast health surgery options depending on your diagnosis and treatment plan. Our team uses a connected‑by‑care approach, helping you understand each option so you can feel confident and supported throughout your treatment.
Below are the most common types of breast cancer surgeries performed at Baptist:
- Lumpectomy
- Partial Mastectomy
- Mastectomy
- Skin‑Sparing Mastectomy

Reconstructive breast surgery helps restore the shape and appearance of the breast after cancer treatment. It can be done at the same time as breast cancer surgery or later, depending on your cancer treatment plan, overall health and personal preference. Baptist Medical Group provides comprehensive reconstructive options through skilled surgeons who work closely with the breast care team. Their connected‑by‑care approach ensures patients receive guidance, support and personalized treatment throughout the entire process, helping them heal with confidence and comfort.
