With reconstructive surgery, physicians offer comprehensive breast reconstruction options to restore the breast's appearance, often performed in conjunction with a mastectomy.
Medical oncology focuses on systemic treatments, such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, & targeted therapies, that circulate through the body to attack cancer cells and are tailored to the specific biology of each patient’s cancer, leveraging advances in personalized medicine.
In cases of larger tumors, multifocal disease, or personal preference, patients may opt for a mastectomy, where all breast tissue is removed. Loma Linda University Health also provides advanced nipple-sparing mastectomy options to improve aesthetic outcomes post-surgery.
A lumpectomy is a procedure that removes the cancerous tissue while preserving the majority of the breast. For early-stage cancers, lumpectomy followed by radiation therapy can be as effective as a mastectomy.

Depending on the stage & size of the breast tumor, as well as patient preferences, different surgical approaches may be recommended. Both lumpectomy (breast-conserving surgery) & mastectomy (removal of the entire breast) are viable options.

Samara’s leg twitching was the first visible sign of a much larger problem—a brain tumor that had been quietly growing for years. Doctors diagnosed Samara with a meningioma, a type of tumor that forms on the meninges, the protective tissue covering the brain and spinal cord.
Pamela Iniguez vividly remembers the shock her family felt after learning that her fifteen-year-old daughter, Samara Serafini, had a brain tumor after unexplained twitching on the right side of her body.
