Breast cancer surgery is an important part of treatment for many patients diagnosed with breast cancer. The recommended procedure depends on the cancer type, stage, tumour size, location, and overall health.
The Breast Cancer Surgery Package is designed to support patients through surgical evaluation, treatment planning, the procedure, and postoperative care under appropriate specialist supervision.
Depending on the individual diagnosis, surgery may include lumpectomy (breast-conserving surgery) or mastectomy. In some cases, lymph node assessment or removal may also be recommended to determine whether cancer has spread.
Before surgery, patients may undergo clinical evaluation, imaging, biopsy review, blood tests, and other investigations considered necessary by the treating team. The surgical approach is selected according to the patient's medical needs.
After surgery, follow-up care focuses on wound management, recovery, pain control, pathology review, and discussion of further treatment when required. Additional therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, or targeted treatment may be advised based on the final diagnosis.
Every breast cancer case is different. Patients and families should discuss the diagnosis, surgical options, expected recovery, possible risks, and follow-up plan with their oncology team before proceeding with treatment.
