Getting the results of your pathology report. Just like the pathology report you received after your biopsy, you will also receive a pathology report after lumpectomy or mastectomy.

Itâs important to know that recurrence can still happen with lumpectomy plus radiation. In the studies mentioned above, 14% of the women in one study and 9% of the women in the other study who had lumpectomy plus radiation had a recurrence in the same breast.
