Breast Conserving Surgery (BCS) is a type of surgical procedure used to treat breast cancer. It is a less invasive alternative to mastectomy, which involves the removal of the entire breast. BCS involves the removal of the tumor and a small amount of surrounding tissue, while preserving the majority of the breast. This procedure is typically followed by radiation therapy to reduce the risk of recurrence. BCS is a growing market, as it is a less invasive and more aesthetically pleasing option than mastectomy. It is also associated with improved quality of life and better psychological outcomes for patients. Additionally, BCS is associated with lower costs than mastectomy, making it a more attractive option for many patients. Some companies in the Breast Conserving Surgery market include Intuitive Surgical, Stryker, and Zimmer Biomet. Show Less Read more
