Overview
Breast Cancer Surgery is one of Dr Ashwin K.R.’s core areas of practice at Aster Whitefield, Bengaluru. Treatment planning combines careful staging, multidisciplinary discussion and a surgical approach chosen to balance oncological safety with quality of life.
Symptoms & When to See a Surgeon
- A new lump or thickening in the breast or underarm
- Change in breast size, shape or skin texture
- Nipple discharge, retraction or skin dimpling
- An abnormal finding on screening mammography or ultrasound
These symptoms have many possible causes, but persistent or unexplained symptoms warrant a timely surgical oncology consultation.
Surgical Treatment Approach
- Breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) with oncoplastic technique where suitable
- Mastectomy with immediate or staged reconstruction when required
- Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) to minimise unnecessary lymph node removal
- Multidisciplinary planning alongside medical and radiation oncology
