Advance Treatments with SRV Hospitals

Surgery is typically the first line of treatment for breast cancer. The type of surgery will depend on the stage and size of the cancer, as well as the patient’s preferences. Options include:

Lumpectomy: Also known as breast-conserving surgery, this involves removing the cancerous tumor and a small amount of surrounding tissue.

Mastectomy: This involves removing the entire breast that has the cancer.

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy: This is a procedure where the first few lymph nodes that the cancer is likely to spread to are removed and checked for cancer cells.

Radiation therapy: This uses high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. It may be used after surgery to reduce the risk of the cancer returning, or as the primary treatment for cancers that are not able to be surgically removed.

Chemotherapy: This uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It may be used before or after surgery to shrink the tumor, or as the primary treatment for advanced cancers.

Hormonal therapy: This uses drugs to block the effect of hormones on cancer cells. It is often used to treat cancers that are hormone receptor-positive, meaning the cancer cells have receptors that respond to hormones like estrogen and progesterone.

Targeted therapy: This uses drugs to target specific molecular changes in cancer cells that allow them to grow and spread. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments.

Immunotherapy: This uses drugs that help the patient’s own immune system fight the cancer. It is becoming increasingly popular as a treatment option for breast cancer.

Palliative care: This is specialized medical care that focuses on providing relief from symptoms, pain, and stress caused by cancer. It can help improve the patient’s quality of life, regardless of the stage of the disease.
