Breast Surgery

Diagnosis and treatment of breast lumps and tumors with compassionate, precise care

Why Early Detection Matters

Breast surgery covers the diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant breast lumps and tumors. Not every breast lump is cancer — many are benign — but early evaluation always matters most: detecting breast cancer early opens far wider treatment options and far better outcomes.

We provide careful assessment and an individual treatment plan that combines surgical precision with compassionate care, prioritizing breast conservation wherever possible and discussing every option with you clearly.

When should you see a doctor?

  • A new lump or swelling in the breast or underarm.
  • A change in the breast's size or shape.
  • Nipple discharge, especially if bloody.
  • Skin or nipple changes (dimpling, redness, or retraction).
  • Or simply: routine screening for early detection.

Surgical Procedures

Benign Breast Lump Excision

Removal of benign tumors such as fibroadenomas or cysts — to confirm their nature and for the patient's reassurance — through the smallest possible incision.

Lumpectomy (Breast-Conserving Surgery)

Removal of the tumor with a clear margin of surrounding tissue while preserving most of the breast. Often the first choice in early breast cancer, usually followed by radiotherapy.

Mastectomy

Complete removal of the breast when it is the most appropriate option, with the possibility of discussing reconstruction options at the right time.

Axillary / Sentinel Lymph Node Surgery

Examining and removing the underarm lymph nodes (starting with the sentinel node) to determine whether disease has spread — essential for staging and the treatment plan.

Diagnostic Breast Biopsy

Taking a tissue sample to confirm the diagnosis precisely before any treatment decision is made.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every breast lump mean cancer?
No — many breast lumps are benign. Still, any new lump should be evaluated early for reassurance and to determine its nature.
What's the difference between a lumpectomy and a mastectomy?
A lumpectomy removes the tumor while preserving the breast; a mastectomy removes the whole breast. The choice depends on the tumor and your situation and is discussed with you clearly.
Can the breast be preserved when treating cancer?
Often yes in early cases, through breast-conserving surgery, usually completed with radiotherapy — depending on the case.
Why is early detection so important?
Detecting breast cancer early opens far wider treatment options and much better outcomes, so regular screening and awareness of any change are advised.
What happens during a biopsy?
A small tissue sample is taken to confirm the diagnosis precisely before any treatment decision — usually a minor procedure.
