The best opportunity to meet
Dr. Arisada Pitchayadechakoon
,
an expert surgeon from
the Oncology Center of Excellence
in Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai!
Dr. Arisada, one of our kind and intelligent doctors, wants to share her experience
with the BCM Lifestyle team about breast cancer surgery treatment. Taking this
opportunity to provide hope to other breast cancer sufferers and their families.
“When we hear about breast surgery, we are scared. We think of pain and, more
importantly, breast removal, and we feel insecure. But as a doctor, I am aware that
it is only a small inconvenience.”
“Furthermore, some patients did not suffer any discomfort after painless breast surgery.”
As a surgeon with extensive experience in breast cancer treatment, the doctor opts for
Painless Surgery—a method that is virtually pain-free and does not
require breast removal. We provide emotional support so patients feel safe and can
return to normal life.
Treat It Before the Pain!
“Breast cancer surgery at Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai is different because of our
multidisciplinary team’s proactive approach. We continuously monitor the patients’
pain levels and provide pain relief medication before the body is hurt.”
— Dr. Arisada
Painless Surgery was developed to give breast cancer patients a
pain-free recovery and a quick return to normal life. Led by surgeons, anesthetists,
nurses, physiotherapists, nutritionists, and more from
the Oncology Center of Excellence. The surgeons evaluate each patient
to ensure minimal pain and the best cosmetic outcome.
By using a simple pain scale question post-op—
“On a scale of 1–10, how much does it hurt?”—
our anesthesiologists can tailor relief immediately, often resulting in little to no pain.
Beyond breast surgery, Painless Surgery techniques are also used here for knee
arthroscopy, C-sections, hip surgery, and more.
How Long Until Life Returns to Normal?
“You may live a regular life without any difficulties.” Dr. Arisada smiled,
explaining that selective lymph node removal and targeted techniques reduce arm
stiffness and swelling.
Patients typically spend just 1–2 days in recovery before going home and resuming
normal activities—even exercise—almost immediately.
Mobilizing Diagnostic Experts for Every Patient
Our Tumor Board Conference brings together oncology, radiation, and pathology specialists
to plan the safest, most effective treatment. Some patients may not need further
chemotherapy; others will consult subspecialists as needed.
Breast Cancer Can Strike at Any Age
With years of experience, Dr. Arisada advises all women—especially those with early
periods, no children, family history, hormone use, or overweight—to self-check
regularly and get
mammogram + ultrasound
for a nearly 90% survival rate if caught at stage 0–1.
The youngest patient we’ve treated this year was just 20 years old!
