Breast Surgery Treatments

Breast Cancer Surgery & Support

What Is Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the breast grow uncontrollably. While early-stage breast cancer is often detected through screening, it can also present with a lump, nipple changes, or skin thickening.

There are many subtypes of breast cancer — including hormone receptor-positive, HER2-positive, and triple-negative — each with different behaviour and treatment needs. Treatment decisions are based on the size, location, biology, and spread of the cancer, as well as your individual preferences and overall health.

My Approach

I provide a personalised, evidence-based surgical care for breast cancer as part of a comprehensive multidisciplinary team. The consult consists of but is not limited to:

  • Review your imaging and biopsy results in detail

  • Discuss surgical options, including:

    • Breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy)

    • Mastectomy, with or without reconstruction

    • Axillary surgery (sentinel node biopsy or clearance)

  • Explore oncoplastic options, where appropriate, to improve both oncologic safety and cosmetic outcomes

  • Coordinate care with your medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, breast care nurse, and allied health providers
