Answer:

A surgical removal of the lump

Step-by-step explanation:

Mastectomy is a surgical procedure for the removal of a nodule, one or both sinuses, which, in most cases, is indicated for people diagnosed with cancer, and can be partial, when only a part of the tissue or just the nodule is removed, totally, when the breast is completely removed or even radical, when, in addition to the breast, nearby muscles and tissues that may have been affected by the tumor are removed.

In addition, mastectomy can also be preventive, to reduce the risk of women developing breast cancer, or it can have an aesthetic purpose, in the case of surgery with masculinizing intent, for example.
