The answer is the fourth one (D): lumpectomy.

Explanation for each option:

  • Mastopexy: This is a surgical procedure to lift and reshape the breasts. It is not a treatment for breast cancer but rather a cosmetic surgery.

  • Salpingectomy: This is the surgical removal of one or both fallopian tubes. It is not related to breast cancer treatment.

  • Oophorectomy: This is the surgical removal of one or both ovaries. While it may be part of a treatment plan for certain types of cancer, it is not a direct treatment for breast cancer.

  • Lumpectomy: This is a surgical procedure that involves removing a tumor or lump from the breast, along with some surrounding tissue. It is a common treatment for breast cancer.

In summary, a lumpectomy is the surgical procedure used to treat breast cancer.
