Is It Necessary to Remove the Entire Breast in Every Breast Cancer Surgery?

One of the first questions that comes to mind for many patients diagnosed with breast cancer is whether the entire breast will be removed. However, thanks to today’s advanced surgical techniques, it is possible in many patients to preserve breast tissue and maintain an aesthetic appearance. Oncoplastic breast surgery is one of the most important applications of this modern approach.

Oncoplastic surgery aims to remove cancerous tissue within safe margins while preventing possible deformities and preserving the natural appearance of the breast. Thus, the treatment process focuses not only on eliminating the disease but also on maintaining the patient’s quality of life.

As Prof. Dr. Atakan Sezer, we plan breast cancer treatment in our clinic in Edirne in light of scientific data and aim to achieve successful oncological and aesthetic results with oncoplastic surgical methods in suitable patients.

“The modern approach in breast cancer surgery is to treat the disease while also preserving the patient’s body integrity and comfort of life.”

The main advantages provided by oncoplastic breast surgery are as follows:

Preservation of Breast Tissue: In suitable cases, instead of removing the entire breast, we remove only the diseased area.

A More Natural Appearance: We apply special techniques aimed at preserving the shape of the breast after surgery.

Psychologically Supportive Effect: We help patients preserve their body image and self-confidence after surgery.

Personalized Treatment Plan: We determine the most appropriate surgical method according to the structure, size, and location of the tumor.

A different roadmap is required for each patient in breast cancer treatment. With proper patient selection and an experienced surgical approach, it is possible to achieve both high success in cancer treatment and aesthetically satisfying results. With our academic expertise and modern surgical practices, we provide up-to-date breast surgery services to our patients in Edirne and the Balkans region.
