Introduction
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, but early detection and timely treatment can lead to excellent outcomes. With modern surgical techniques, targeted therapies, and personalized care, many patients achieve long-term recovery and improved quality of life.
At Airavat Cancer Care Hospital, breast cancer treatment is planned with a multidisciplinary approach focused on accurate diagnosis, safe surgery, and comprehensive post-treatment care personalized to each patient.
What is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the breast tissue. It may begin in the milk ducts, lobules, or surrounding structures and can spread to nearby lymph nodes if not treated early. Regular screening and awareness of symptoms help in detecting breast cancer at an early, more treatable stage.
Symptoms of Breast Cancer
Common signs and symptoms that should not be ignored include:
Any unusual change in the breast should be evaluated by a specialist promptly.
Diagnosis of Breast Cancer
Breast cancer diagnosis begins with a clinical breast examination followed by imaging tests such as mammography and ultrasound to detect abnormalities. MRI may be advised in selected cases for better evaluation. A biopsy is essential to confirm the presence of cancer and determine its type. Additional tests may be performed to assess lymph node involvement and plan treatment accurately.
Stages
- Stage I: Small tumor confined to the breast.
- Stage II: Tumor grows larger or spreads to nearby lymph nodes
- Stage III: Locally advanced cancer involving surrounding tissues
- Stage IV: Cancer spreads to distant organs
Early-stage detection significantly improves survival and treatment success.
Treatment Options for Breast Cancer
Treatment depends on the type of tumor, stage, and overall health condition.
Breast Cancer Surgery
Surgery is often the primary treatment and may involve removal of the tumor (lumpectomy) or complete removal of the breast (mastectomy) along with lymph node evaluation.
Breast Reconstruction & Oncoplasty
Advanced surgical techniques help maintain breast appearance and symmetry while ensuring complete tumor removal.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy may be given before or after surgery to destroy cancer cells and reduce recurrence risk.
Hormonal Therapy
Hormone-sensitive breast cancers may be treated with medications that block hormone effects.
Targeted Therapy
Targeted drugs focus on specific cancer cell characteristics to improve treatment outcomes.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation is often recommended after surgery to eliminate any remaining cancer cells.
