OUR STORY

Know About Us

Why Manipal?

The One-Stop Clinic for Breast Cancer is designed to streamline the diagnostic and treatment process, minimising the time between initial suspicion and definitive treatment. Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped with the latest technology in breast imaging and treatment, ensuring that you receive accurate diagnoses and effective therapies. Our team of specialists works collaboratively to develop personalised treatment plans, focusing on both medical outcomes and quality of life.

 

Treatment Options

Our comprehensive treatment options are tailored to each patient’s specific type and stage of breast cancer, overall health, and personal preferences. Treatment plans may include one or a combination of the following:

  • Surgery: Surgical options depend on the size and location of the tumor, as well as patient preferences. Our surgical services include:

    • Lumpectomy: Removal of the tumor and a small margin of surrounding tissue, preserving most of the breast.

    • Mastectomy: Removal of the entire breast, which may be necessary for larger or multiple tumors.

    • Reconstructive Surgery: Breast reconstruction is offered simultaneously with or after mastectomy to restore the breast’s appearance.

  • Radiation Therapy: Our radiation therapy uses high-energy beams to target and destroy cancer cells. Techniques such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) ensure precision, minimising damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

  • Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy involves the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Our oncologists tailor chemotherapy regimens based on the cancer’s characteristics and the patient’s health, optimising effectiveness and minimising side effects.

  • Hormone Therapy: For hormone receptor-positive breast cancers, hormone therapy can block the body’s natural hormones that fuel cancer growth. This treatment can be administered through oral medications or injections.

  • Targeted Therapy: Targeted therapy involves drugs that specifically target cancer cells with certain genetic mutations or proteins. These therapies offer a more personalised approach to treatment, often with fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy.

Facilities & Services

Diagnostic Services

Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for successful breast cancer treatment. Our diagnostic services include:

  • Mammography: Our clinic utilises advanced digital mammography, which provides high-resolution images for early detection of breast abnormalities. Regular mammograms are essential for early intervention and better outcomes.

  • Ultrasound: Breast ultrasound is used to further evaluate abnormalities detected by mammography or physical examination. It helps differentiate between cysts and solid masses and guides biopsies for precise sampling.

  • MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Breast MRI offers detailed images of the breast, particularly useful for evaluating dense breast tissue and assessing the extent of cancer. It is also used for screening high-risk patients and planning surgery.

  • Biopsy: When an abnormality is detected, a biopsy is performed to obtain a tissue sample for pathological examination. Our minimally invasive biopsy techniques, such as core needle biopsy and vacuum-assisted biopsy, ensure accurate diagnosis with minimal discomfort.

 

Support Services

We believe in a holistic treatment approach. Our support services are designed to address the emotional, psychological, and physical aspects of cancer care:

  • Counselling and Support Groups: Our licensed counsellors and social workers provide individual and group counselling to help patients and their families cope with the emotional challenges of cancer diagnosis and treatment. Support groups offer a safe space to share experiences and receive encouragement from others facing similar journeys.

  • Nutritional Counseling: Proper nutrition is vital during cancer treatment. Our registered dietitians provide personalized dietary plans to help manage treatment side effects, maintain strength, and support overall health.

  • Physical Therapy: Physical therapy is essential for maintaining mobility and function during and after treatment. Our physical therapists develop individualised exercise programs to aid recovery, manage lymphedema, and improve quality of life.

  • Genetic Counseling: For patients with a family history of breast cancer, our genetic counsellors provide risk assessment, genetic testing, and guidance on preventive measures. Understanding genetic risk factors can inform treatment decisions and surveillance strategies.

We offer a range of breast imaging services, including digital mammography, ultrasound, and MRI. These advanced imaging techniques help in the early detection and precise evaluation of breast abnormalities, allowing for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.

We offer a range of surgical options depending on the size and location of the tumour, as well as your personal preferences. These include lumpectomy (removal of the tumour and a small margin of surrounding tissue), mastectomy (removal of the entire breast), and reconstructive surgery, which can be performed simultaneously with or after mastectomy to restore the breast's appearance.

Our minimally invasive biopsy techniques, such as core needle biopsy and vacuum-assisted biopsy, allow for accurate tissue sampling with minimal discomfort. These procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you can return home the same day, and they help reduce the need for more invasive surgical procedures.

Each patient’s treatment plan is tailored to her specific type and stage of breast cancer, overall health, and personal preferences. Our multidisciplinary team collaborates to develop a plan that may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or targeted therapy, ensuring that every aspect of your care is individualised.
