Breast Tumours Treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore

Breast tumour surgery is a critical step in treating breast tumours, which requires surgically removing the tumour. Breast tumour surgery is a treatment option that may be used on its own or in combination with other therapies.

Breast tumour surgery covers several methods, including:

  • Total breast removal by surgery (mastectomy)

  • Breast tissue removal with surgery (lumpectomy)

  • Removal of surrounding lymph nodes during surgery

  • Breast reconstruction after a mastectomy

Diagnosing Breast Tumour

Breast tumour diagnosis techniques and tests include:

  1. Breast Evaluation

Your doctor will feel for lumps or other changes in your lymph nodes in the armpit and both of your breasts.

  1. Mammogram

An X-ray of the breast is called mammography. Your doctor could advise diagnostic mammography if an abnormality is found to assess that anomaly further.

  1. Ultrasonography of the Breast

Ultrasound employs sound waves to create pictures of inside organs at great depths. If a new breast lump is found to be a solid mass or a cyst filled with fluid, an ultrasound may be performed to identify it. Consult with our experts to have the best treatment.

  1. Removing Breast Cells for Testing and Analysis (Biopsy)

A biopsy is the only reliable method for diagnosing a breast tumour. Your doctor performs a biopsy using a specialised needle instrument to remove a core of tissue from a questionable location while being guided by an X-ray or other imaging test.

  1. A small metal marker is often placed at the surgical site within your breast to make the region simple to identify on future imaging examinations. Experts in a laboratory analyse biopsy samples to ascertain if the cells are tumorous.

  2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Breast (MRI)

An MRI machine uses a magnet and radio waves to produce images of your breast's inside.

Depending on the situation, additional tests and treatments could be needed.

Procedure of a Breast Tumour Surgery

A hospital is where breast tumour surgery is performed. You are given medication (general anaesthetic) that maintains you in a sleep-like condition before the treatment. Visit our cancer care hospital in Hebbal for the best treatment.

  • A breast incision will be done to remove the tumour and surrounding tissue. Whether you get a lumpectomy to remove just a portion of the breast tissue or a mastectomy to remove all of the tissue will determine how much tissue is removed. The position and size of the incision are determined by where the tumour is located inside the breast.

  • The surgeon will remove a few lymph nodes that a tumour will most likely invade initially during a sentinel node biopsy (sentinel nodes). After that, they are examined for tumours. There is no need to remove any other lymph nodes if there is no tumour.

  • If a tumour is discovered, the surgeon can offer radiation treatment for your lymph nodes following surgery or remove additional lymph nodes. Combining the two lymph node treatments is sometimes done.

  • The incision is closed. The use of a dissolvable stitch helps prevent scarring.

  • Reconstruction: If you have a mastectomy and decide to have breast reconstruction, it often begins after the tumour is removed.

  • Be brought to a recovery room where your respiration, heart rate, and blood pressure are checked.
