Expert surgical evaluation and management is available for a wide range of breast conditions — from benign lumps to breast cancer — with a compassionate and patient-centred approach throughout.

Breast Conditions We Treat

Breast surgical services cover:

• Breast lumps and cysts — diagnosis and excision
• Fibroadenomas — benign breast tumours
• Breast abscesses — drainage and management
• Breast cancer — surgical treatment and referral for further care
• Gynaecomastia — enlarged breast tissue in men

Breast Cancer Surgery

For patients diagnosed with breast cancer, the following surgical options are available:

• Lumpectomy — removal of the tumour and a small margin of surrounding tissue
• Mastectomy — removal of the entire breast when required
• Sentinel lymph node biopsy — to check if cancer has spread
• Axillary lymph node dissection — removal of lymph nodes in the armpit

Early Detection Saves Lives

Regular breast self-examination and screening are strongly encouraged. If you notice any of the following, seek evaluation promptly:

• A new lump or thickening in the breast or armpit
• Changes in breast size or shape
• Skin changes such as dimpling or redness
• Nipple discharge or inversion
• Persistent breast pain
