What is Modified Radical Mastectomy?

Complete removal of the breast and axillary lymph nodes for invasive breast cancer when breast conservation is not feasible due to tumor size, multifocality, or patient preference.

Why China?

  • Cost: $4,500-$7,500 vs. $20,000-$40,000 in the US
  • Immediate reconstruction: DIEP flap and implant-based reconstruction available at same sitting
  • Same pathology standards: IHC + FISH testing identical to Western protocols

Who is a candidate?

  • Large tumor relative to breast size
  • Multicentric disease
  • Prior chest wall radiation
  • Patient preference

Outcomes

5-year local recurrence rate <5%. Axillary clearance provides accurate staging for adjuvant therapy planning.
