Early Diagnosis and Current Surgical Approaches in Breast Cancer

Although breast cancer is the most common type of cancer seen in women today, it has become a disease that can be successfully treated thanks to surgical and technological advances in the medical world. The most critical step in the treatment process is “Early Diagnosis” and a personalized “Surgical Intervention”.

As Prof. Dr. Atakan Sezer, our main goal in the modern surgical approaches we offer to our patients in Edirne and the Thrace region is not only to remove the cancerous tissue, but also to preserve our patient’s quality of life and body integrity at the highest level.

“Success in breast cancer surgery is not only the removal of the tumor, but also the reconstruction of health with aesthetic sensitivity.”

Unlike traditional methods, current surgical protocols consider the patient’s physical and psychological health as a whole. The most prominent approaches in this process are as follows:

Breast-Conserving Surgery: Instead of completely removing the breast during tumor removal, only the risky tissue is removed while preserving the natural form of the breast.

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy: This involves examining the lymph nodes in the armpit during surgery in order to prevent unnecessary interventions and the related risk of swelling in the arm, known as lymphedema.

Oncoplastic Surgery: In this method, which combines cancer surgery with aesthetic surgery, breast reconstruction is performed in the same session while the tumor is removed.

The most important method of protection for your breast health is regular check-ups. Remember that early diagnosis increases the treatment options available to the surgeon and helps achieve more successful results. In our clinic in Edirne, we are by your side at every stage of your breast health with our academic expertise and modern technological infrastructure.
