A total mastectomy (simple mastectomy) refers to the complete removal of breast tissue. A modified radical mastectomy refers to the removal of the breast and the corresponding axillary lymph nodes.
Preoperative management
Patient evaluation
| System | Considerations |
|---|---|
| Neurologic | |
| Cardiovascular | Chemotherapy (ex. anthracyclines) can cause cardiomyopathy that is often irreversible. Use of trastuzamab can cause reversible decrease in LV function. |
