• Overview

    Breast cancer is a complex and prevalent disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth of malignant cells in the breast tissue. While its precise cause remains multifactorial, several risk factors have been identified, including genetic predisposition, hormonal influences, family history, and lifestyle choices. Genetics play a significant role, with inherited mutations in genes like BRCA1 and BRCA2 increasing susceptibility.

    Surgery is a cornerstone in the treatment of breast cancer due to its multiple essential roles. First and foremost, it aims to remove cancerous tissue, effectively eliminating the tumor and any surrounding cells that may harbor malignancy. Additionally, surgery is crucial for assessing the involvement of nearby lymph nodes, a critical determinant in staging the cancer and guiding further treatment decisions. Biopsy of the tumor provides a definitive diagnosis, enabling oncologists to tailor subsequent therapies to the specific characteristics of the cancer. Furthermore, surgical intervention offers local control, minimizing the risk of cancer spreading or recurrence within the breast tissue.

    Furthermore, breast reconstruction plays a pivotal role in the post-surgical phase, offering not only physical restoration but also psychological and emotional support. It helps restore women's confidence, body image, and sense of wholeness, improving their overall quality of life as they navigate the challenges of breast cancer and its treatment.
