Breast Cancer Surgery and Surgical Oncology

Breast Cancer Surgery is a specialized surgical procedure performed to remove cancerous tumors from the breast while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. Depending on the stage and type of breast cancer, surgical options include lumpectomy (breast-conserving surgery), mastectomy (partial or total removal of the breast), and reconstructive surgery. Sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection is often performed to assess cancer spread.

Medical Oncology

Medical Oncology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancer using chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy. Oncologists work closely with surgical and radiation oncologists to provide comprehensive cancer care. Advances in precision medicine, genetic testing, and immunotherapies have significantly improved survival rates and personalized treatment approaches for various cancers.
