Breast cancer symptoms are

• A painless lump in the breast in a lady usually aged above 35 years.
• Blood stained nipple discharge.

The diagnosis is done with the help of a biopsy , mammography ( xray of the breast) and if indicated a PETCTSCAN ( A scan which detects cancer spread). Dr. Satish Rao is the Breast Cancer Specialist in Bandra.

The next step is to stage the disease.

In early stage a breast conservative surgery is done. This includes removal of the breast lump with adequate margin and removal of nodes in the armpit. This is followed by radiation to the breast. Early breast cancer patients may also require chemotherapy and/ or hormonal treatment.

Complete removal of the breast may also be indicated in some cases.

Reconstruction of the breast is also feasible for better cosmesis.
