Surgery is the only possible way to cure breast cancer, so surgical resection of tumor is the first choice for early breast cancer. At present, there are several commonly used breast cancer surgery methods: radical mastectomy, modified radical mastectomy and breast-conserving surgery. Radical mastectomy is traumatic and will affect the function of upper limbs after operation. Therefore, this operation can only be performed when cancer cells invade the muscles of the chest wall. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used as an auxiliary treatment for surgery, which can improve the success rate of surgery, reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and improve the treatment effect. Ginsenoside Rh2 can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells, induce apoptosis and differentiation, accelerate postoperative recovery, reduce complications, reduce side effects, improve therapeutic effect and prevent recurrence and metastasis.

Modified radical mastectomy can recover quickly and is the most commonly used standard breast cancer surgery. Breast-conserving surgery includes quadrant resection, segmental resection, local resection and axillary lymph node dissection; Postoperative radiotherapy, chemotherapy and endocrine therapy were supplemented. Studies have shown that breast-conserving surgery plus radiotherapy is similar to patients undergoing radical mastectomy at the same time.
