- Total (or simple) mastectomy – A breast cancer surgery that removes an entire breast
- Modified (or radical) mastectomy – A procedure that removes a breast, the lymph nodes under the arm and the lining over the chest muscles
- Prophylactic (or preventive) mastectomy – A surgery that may be elected by a woman who has been identified as having a high risk of developing breast cancer
