Breast cancer surgery involves removing the cancer while preserving as much healthy breast tissue as safely possible. Treatment may include breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy depending on tumor size, location and stage.
Breast-conserving surgery removes the breast tumor with a margin of healthy tissue while retaining most of the breast. It may be combined with oncoplastic techniques to improve cosmetic outcomes.
Oncoplastic breast surgery combines cancer removal with reconstructive techniques to preserve or restore breast shape while maintaining appropriate oncological treatment principles.
Mastectomy involves removal of breast tissue and may be recommended for selected patients based on tumor size, location, genetic risk, recurrence or individual treatment requirements.
Skin-sparing mastectomy removes breast tissue while preserving much of the natural breast skin, allowing immediate reconstruction to be considered in suitable patients.
Breast reconstruction helps restore breast shape following cancer surgery and may be performed immediately during cancer surgery or later after completion of other treatments.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy evaluates the first lymph nodes likely to receive drainage from a breast tumor and helps determine whether breast cancer has spread to regional lymph nodes.
Axillary lymph node surgery may be performed when breast cancer has spread to lymph nodes or when additional nodal evaluation is required for cancer staging and treatment planning.
Breast cancer screening may include clinical breast examination, mammography, ultrasound and further diagnostic tests when necessary to identify suspicious breast abnormalities at an early stage.
A breast biopsy involves obtaining tissue from a suspicious breast lump or imaging abnormality for laboratory examination to determine whether the lesion is benign or malignant.
Genetic risk assessment helps patients with strong personal or family histories of breast cancer understand hereditary cancer risk and whether genetic testing such as BRCA testing may be appropriate.
Fibroadenomas are common benign breast lumps. Management may involve monitoring or surgical removal depending on size, symptoms, growth and diagnostic findings.
Male breast cancer requires specialised surgical assessment and may involve removal of breast tissue and evaluation of regional lymph nodes depending on disease stage.
Gynecomastia surgery treats excess male breast tissue and may involve removal of glandular tissue, fat or both to restore a more natural chest contour.
Breast augmentation uses implants or other surgical techniques to increase breast volume and improve breast shape based on individual anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue and skin to reduce breast size and may help relieve symptoms such as back pain, shoulder strain and difficulty with physical activities.
Breast lift surgery reshapes and elevates sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning breast tissue to achieve improved contour and firmness.
Nipple-areola reconstruction may be performed as part of breast reconstruction following cancer surgery to help restore a more natural breast appearance.
