Mastectomy with Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) is the surgical removal of one or both breasts. When combined with a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), it allows for the assessment of whether cancer has spread to the lymph nodes.

Mastectomy: Removal of the breast:

A mastectomy is a surgical procedure where the entire breast is removed. This may be recommended for various reasons, including:

1. Invasive breast cancer: When cancer has spread beyond the milk ducts to surrounding breast tissue.

2. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS): When cancer cells are confined to the milk ducts but are extensive or recurring.

3. Prophylactic mastectomy: To reduce the risk of breast cancer in individuals with a high risk due to genetic mutations or strong family history.

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB):

1. Lymph node assessment: SLNB is a procedure to determine if cancer has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm.

2. Sentinel nodes: These are the first lymph nodes that cancer cells are most likely to reach if they spread.

Benefits of Mastectomy

1. Removal of cancerous tissue.

2. A mastectomy effectively removes all breast tissue, including the cancerous tumor and any potentially affected areas.

3. Reduced risk of recurrence: In many cases, a mastectomy significantly reduces the risk of cancer recurrence in the breast.  

4. Improved survival rates: For certain types and stages of breast cancer, mastectomy can improve survival rates.

Benefit of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB)

1. Accurate Staging: SLNB helps determine if cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, which is a crucial factor in cancer staging.

2. Treatment planning: Accurate staging guides treatment decisions, such as whether additional therapies like chemotherapy or radiation are necessary.

3. Smaller incisions: SLNB involves smaller incisions compared to more extensive lymph node removal.

4. Faster recovery: Recovery time after SLNB is typically shorter, allowing patients to return to their normal activities sooner.
