    Our Services

    Breast Cancer Surgery

    We offer a full spectrum of surgical treatments for breast cancer, ensuring the best possible outcomes while preserving aesthetics and functionality:

    • Breast-Conserving Surgery (BCS) – Also known as a lumpectomy, this procedure removes only the tumor and a margin of surrounding tissue, preserving as much of the breast as possible.
    • Mastectomy Procedures – Including nipple-sparing mastectomy and skin-sparing mastectomy, which allow for better cosmetic reconstruction post-surgery.
    • Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) – A minimally invasive technique to check if cancer has spread to lymph nodes, reducing the need for full axillary lymph node dissection.
    • Axillary Lymph Node Dissection (ALND) – Performed when cancer has spread to lymph nodes, aiding in staging and treatment planning.
