Breast cancer surgery aims to remove the tumour while preserving healthy tissue and breast function whenever clinically appropriate.
Breast conservation surgery removes the cancer with a margin of healthy tissue while preserving as much of the breast as possible.
Oncoplastic breast surgery combines cancer removal with reconstructive techniques to help preserve breast shape and appearance.
Hidden scar techniques place surgical incisions in less visible areas when oncologically and technically appropriate.
Mastectomy involves removal of breast tissue and may be recommended depending on tumour size, location, genetics and overall treatment plan.
Lumpectomy removes the breast tumour together with a surrounding margin while preserving the remainder of the breast.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy evaluates the first lymph nodes most likely to receive spread from breast cancer and can help determine staging.
Axillary surgery involves evaluation or removal of selected lymph nodes in the underarm region while aiming to minimise treatment-related morbidity.
Radio-localised techniques help accurately identify and remove selected small or screen-detected breast lesions.
Benign breast disease management includes evaluation and treatment of non-cancerous breast lumps, cysts and other breast conditions.
Breast cancer screening aims to identify suspicious abnormalities at an early stage using appropriate clinical assessment and imaging.
Surveillance involves scheduled clinical and imaging follow-up for patients with previous breast cancer or increased breast cancer risk.
Risk assessment reviews personal, family and clinical factors to estimate breast cancer risk and guide screening or preventive strategies.
