Radical Mastectomy

Radical mastectomy is a surgical procedure that treats breast cancer by removing the breast and its underlying chest muscle (including pectoralis major and pectoralis minor), and lymph nodes of the axilla (armpit). Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. During the early twentieth century it was primarily treated by surgery, when the mastectomy was developed.[1] However, with the advancement of technology and surgical skills in recent years, mastectomies have become less invasive.[2] As of 2016, a combination of radiotherapy and breast conserving mastectomy are considered optimal treatment.
