Breast cancer is a disease that concerns many Thai women and is the leading cause of death worldwide. However, with current medical advancements, treatment for this disease does not always require a full mastectomy. Patients diagnosed early can choose a treatment option that preserves the breast. One popular and effective option is breast-conserving surgery, available at Bangkok Cancer Hospital Rayong.
What is breast-conserving surgery?
Breast-conserving surgery is a surgical procedure that aims to remove only the cancerous tumor while preserving as much healthy breast tissue as possible. After surgery, most patients will undergo radiation therapy to prevent cancer recurrence. This procedure helps preserve breast shape, minimizes psychological impact, and improves the patient’s quality of life.
Advantages of breast-conserving surgery
- Removing only the cancerous tumor does not require the removal of the entire breast.
- Preserving the breast reduces concerns about appearance and self-confidence.
- In conjunction with radiation therapy, treatment is effective and reduces the risk of recurrence.
Who is suitable for this treatment?
- Patients with a small tumor
- Patients with a lymph node or other organs not yet detected
- Patients who wish to preserve the shape of their breasts For Quality of Life and Confidence
Early Detection, Higher Chance of Cure
The most important factor in breast cancer treatment is early detection. The earlier detection, the higher the chance of cure and the possibility of breast-conserving surgery. Therefore, regular breast cancer screening is something every woman should not overlook.
At Bangkok Cancer Hospital Rayong, we have a team of expert physicians, modern equipment, and a comprehensive care approach, including screening, surgery, radiation, and rehabilitation, to ensure the most appropriate treatment for patients.
Caring for Physical and Mental Health
In addition to treatment, the hospital prioritizes the mental health of patients. Breast cancer not only affects the body but also its confidence and quality of life. Choosing a breast-conserving treatment option is another way to help patients return to a life as close to normal as possible.
Conclusion
Breast cancer, if detected early, does not necessarily mean losing the entire breast. With breast-conserving treatment available at Bangkok Cancer Hospital Rayong, patients can preserve their life and health while preserving the shape of their breasts. Don’t wait too late; get regular breast screenings for strong physical and mental health.
