How many days after breast cancer surgery will the stitches be removed

How many days after breast cancer surgery should the stitches be removed?

1. The time for suture removal after breast cancer surgery is related to the type of surgery and the type of suture used. Currently, surgical suturing technology has been very advanced. If micro-bridge sutures are performed, there is no need to remove the sutures. Mainly, primary breast reconstruction or secondary breast reconstruction surgery does not require suture removal.

2. Early stage patients are mainly treated with radical surgical resection, which can generally achieve clinical cure. After surgery, adjuvant radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, endocrine therapy, etc. combined with pathological results can effectively reduce the chance of local recurrence. In other words, after surgery, breast cancer patients no longer have to worry about removing stitches and can quickly return to normal work in society.

Second stage treatment options for breast cancer

It mainly uses comprehensive adjustments and treatments such as surgery and chemotherapy, closely observing changes, adjusting treatment plans, and promoting physical recovery.

Further treatment requires chemotherapy, and the appropriate chemotherapy regimen should be selected in combination with the results of immunohistochemistry. If breast cancer undergoes breast-conserving surgery, local radiotherapy is also required.

Currently, the commonly used methods for treating stage 2 breast cancer in clinical practice are surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, endocrine therapy, and immunotherapy.
