Bohdanova Resection

Bogdanov resection (Bogdanov-Volkovich) is one of the most common operations in modern oncology. It is used to treat breast tumors. However, before moving on to the description of the procedure itself, you need to understand the causes of breast cancer and its types.

Breast cancer, or breast cancer, is one of the most common forms of malignancy among women. More than 1 million women worldwide are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. More than 50% of all cases of breast cancer develop in the mammary glands due to age-related changes in the patient’s hormonal levels. The risk of developing breast cancer increases as a woman ages—in younger women, one breast is most often affected. At the same time, the risk increases when cancer of neighboring organs is detected - the cervix or ovaries. There is also a category of patients in whom, for unknown reasons, breast tumors recur. This condition is called **resectability**. Depending on the location of the tumor formation, this indicator can be either low or high. This can only be determined with the help of a special study - magnetic resonance imaging.
