Breast Cancer Diagnosis, Screening, and Treatment with Advanced Medical Technology
Core Needle Biopsy (Core Biopsy)
An automated biopsy device is used to obtain tissue samples for pathological analysis to determine whether cancer is present. This method is accurate and safe, enabling physicians to plan effective treatment strategies.
Digital Mammography and 3D Ultrasound Breast Cancer Screening
Advanced imaging technologies for early detection and detailed evaluation of breast abnormalities.
Breast Cyst Aspiration (Aspirate)
A minimally invasive procedure to drain fluid from breast cysts, helping reduce swelling and pain. This method is generally painless and suitable for early-stage conditions.
Needle Localization
A preoperative technique using a specialized needle to precisely locate breast lesions prior to surgery, enhancing surgical accuracy and reducing operative risks.
Ductography (Ductogram)
An imaging study of the milk ducts, suitable for evaluating abnormalities such as abnormal nipple discharge, allowing targeted diagnosis.
Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA)
A minimally invasive technique using a fine needle to collect cells for cancer detection, resulting in minimal tissue trauma and rapid results.
Digital Mammography and Ultrasound
Modern diagnostic technologies used to accurately assess the characteristics, size, and shape of breast lesions, supporting precise and effective treatment planning.
Surgical Options and Treatment Approaches for Breast Cancer
Surgical treatment for breast cancer depends on the stage of the disease, tumor characteristics, and the patient’s overall health condition. The main surgical options include:
Breast-Conserving Surgery
Also known as Lumpectomy or Partial Mastectomy, this procedure removes only the tumor and surrounding tissue while preserving the natural shape of the breast. It is suitable for early-stage breast cancer and small tumors.
Mastectomy
Complete removal of the breast to eliminate cancer cells. Types include:
-
Simple Mastectomy: Removal of the breast only, without lymph nodes or chest muscles
-
Modified Radical Mastectomy: Removal of the breast along with some lymph nodes to prevent cancer spread
-
Radical Mastectomy: Removal of the breast, chest muscles, and lymph nodes (now rarely performed due to less invasive alternatives)
Oncoplastic Surgery
Combines cancer treatment with aesthetic reconstruction by removing cancerous tissue and reshaping the breast for better symmetry and appearance.
Axillary Surgery (Lymph Node Surgery)
Performed when cancer may have spread to lymph nodes:
-
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy: Removal of the first draining lymph node to assess cancer spread
-
Axillary Lymph Node Dissection: Removal of multiple lymph nodes when metastasis is confirmed
Breast Reconstruction Surgery
Reconstruction of the breast following mastectomy using the patient’s own tissue or implants (silicone). Reconstruction can be performed immediately after mastectomy or at a later stage.
The choice of surgical method depends on factors such as cancer stage, tumor type, patient health, and personal preference. Consultation with a specialist physician is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
