Brief Answer:
Surgery.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

If its a single lump surgery is the best choice. It gives best chances for complete cure. Radiation does not give always such possibility as not all tumors will respond for the radiation.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
