Right chest?? Or breast?? If it’s chest.. require to investigate with biopsy and imaging.. if it’s breast yes in early stage it’s possible to remove only lump with good margin around and can save breast after ruling out Multicentricity in Mammogram/ MRI
The chance of recurrence with lumpectomy only 4-10%
Lumpectomy + RT
Next Steps
Upload biopsy and imaging
