Services

The Centre offers a broad range of breast health services that focus on both treatment and prevention. For example, the Centre provides comprehensive breast cancer treatment that includes:

• Early Detection & Diagnostic Imaging:

  • The Centre uses digital mammography, breast MRI, and contrast-enhanced imaging to detect abnormalities early.
  • Additionally, it facilitates breast self-examination training, so patients learn how to monitor their own breast health.

• Surgical Interventions:

  • Breast Conservation Surgery/Therapy: This service preserves as much natural breast tissue as possible during cancer treatment.
  • Mastectomy and Breast Reconstruction: Patients receive reconstructive procedures following mastectomy, including implant-based and autologous tissue reconstruction.
  • Therapeutic Mammoplasty: This procedure not only removes tumors but also reshapes the breast to achieve symmetry.
  • Regional Flap Techniques: Advanced procedures such as the Latissimus Dorsi Flap Reconstruction help restore form using the patient’s own tissue.

• Support and Counseling Services:

  • The Centre offers emotional support and guidance through its dedicated patient navigation program.
  • Furthermore, counseling sessions help ease anxiety by providing clear, accurate medical information.

In addition, the multidisciplinary team works closely to design personalized treatment plans. They use cutting-edge technology and modern surgical techniques to ensure that every procedure meets the highest standards of care. Therefore, the Centre not only treats breast cancer but also emphasizes preventive health measures and holistic care for all patients.
