Surgical Choices
- Breast conservation surgery when tumor size and breast volume permit.
- Oncoplastic reshaping to combine cancer removal with cosmetic planning.
- Mastectomy, skin-sparing or nipple-sparing surgery where suitable.
- Reconstruction coordination when immediate or delayed reconstruction is planned.
Lymph Node Management
- Sentinel lymph node biopsy for selected early breast cancers.
- Axillary node dissection when disease burden requires it.
- Planning to reduce arm swelling, stiffness and shoulder limitation.
- Pathology-based decisions for chemotherapy, radiation or hormone therapy.
Personalized Planning
Breast surgery is individualized using tumor biology, imaging, stage, patient preference, genetic risk and the need for chemotherapy or radiation before or after operation.
