Treatment methods for papillary breast tumor
Surgical treatment:
- Sectoral resection with intraoperative histological examination
- Subcutaneous mastectomy with simultaneous reconstruction (for multiple lesions)
Adjuvant therapy:
- Radiation therapy according to individual protocols
- Hormonal therapy for ER-positive tumors
Specialized approaches:
- Vacuum biopsy to remove small lesions
- Oncoplastic reconstruction techniques
Survival prognosis
- Stage I–II: 95–100%
- Stage III: 70–85%
- Stage IV: 25–40%
