Breast Cancer Surgery
Breast cancer – is a malignant formation that consists of large cells. At the initial stage, a person may not suspect the presence of an ailment. However, over time, the tumour reaches a significant size and can metastasize to neighbouring structures. The disease responds well to treatment and the prognosis for the patient is favourable.

Diagnosis of the pathology is difficult since its symptoms are similar to the manifestation of other diseases. However, with a comprehensive examination, the doctor can make the correct diagnosis:
- Examination;
- Ultrasound;
- Mammography;
- MRI or CT;
- Blood and urine tests;
- Analysis of tumour markers;
- Biopsy.
Based on the obtained examination data, the specialist draws up an individual treatment regimen.
Treatment
Our doctors in the surgical treatment of breast cancer seek to reduce the degree and volume of surgery, to reduce the physical and emotional damage to the patient while maintaining a high chance of recovery. The operation involves the removal of a breast tumour and, at the same time, resection of the axillary lymph nodes or taking a sample of lymph node tissue for analysis. Currently, the majority of patients undergo “operations with the preservation of the mammary gland”, there is no need to completely remove the organ. In most patients, the surgical removal of axillary lymph nodes can also be minimized, and this can reduce the risk of complications.
Advantages of surgical treatment of cancer:
- an individual approach to each woman when choosing an option for surgery;
- highly qualified surgeons; organ-preserving low-traumatic operations;
- conducting histological intraoperative studies to select the volume of surgery.
