Lumpectomy removes a breast tumor and surrounding tissue, while mastectomy removes the entire breast. Modified radical mastectomy also removes lymph nodes. Breast reconstruction rebuilds breast shape after mastectomy using implants or body tissue. Sentinel lymph node biopsy identifies lymph nodes likely to contain cancer cells, while axillary lymph node dissection removes levels I and II nodes.
