- Breast Cancer SurgeryFinding a lump, or being told you have breast cancer, unsettles everything at once. This page sets out how a breast finding is investigated, when the breast can be conserved and when it cannot, why the armpit is now approached far more sparingly than it used to be, and who actually decides the treatment plan.
- Oncoplastic Breast SurgeryOncoplastic surgery means removing a breast cancer to proper oncological standards while, in the same operation, planning what happens to the breast tissue that remains. It is not a cosmetic operation. Oncology comes first and shape comes second — in that order, without exception. This page explains what the approach involves and when reconstruction is considered.
