Breast cancer treatment is based on the stage of breast cancer and the patient's current health status. Although the priority in treatment is to preserve breast tissue, breast tissue can be completely removed by mastectomy when necessary. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy may be required after surgical intervention.
Breast-directed treatments for breast cancer;
Mastectomy is the complete removal of breast tissue. It is used when breast-conserving surgery is not suitable. Such surgeries can also be performed as skin-sparing or 'nipple-sparing mastectomy' for tumours located far from the nipple. In addition, simultaneous reconstructive procedures can also be performed for cosmetic purposes.
If the patient and the tumour are suitable, the recommended type of surgery against breast loss is the removal of cancerous tissue by preserving a part of the breast (breast conserving surgery).
In breast cancers that develop in women with large breasts, it is possible to remove the breast cancer and reduce both breasts to ideal dimensions at the same time. In Oncoplastic Surgery, while the cancerous breast is treated without compromising both oncological and aesthetic principles, symmetrisation of the opposite breast can also be achieved.
The aim of risk-reducing surgery is to reduce the risk of breast cancer in patients with a high risk of developing cancer by removing breast tissue before cancer develops. Nowadays, the development of genetic diagnosis methods, the complete understanding of familial transmission of breast cancer, and the discovery of genetic chromosome disorders that cause breast cancer allow the possibility of breast cancer to be calculated to a great extent. Risk-reducing mastectomy, bilateral subcutaneous mastectomy followed by implant reconstruction is recommended.
Non-Surgical Fibroadenoma Treatment
Surgical Endocrine Diseases;
Thyroid diseases (goitre, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Graves' disease, thyroid nodules and thyroid cancers),
Parathyroid diseases (hyperparathyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, parathyroid gland cancers.
Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is used for the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules. To reduce the risk of hoarseness in thyroid and parathyroid surgery, recurrent nerve monitoring, special tissue cutters and closers, and instruments to close vascular structures are used.
In the diagnostic phase, radiology and nuclear medicine units work in cooperation and interventional procedures are performed when necessary. Patients diagnosed with cancer are evaluated in the council formed by the specialists of the relevant branches and oncological treatment is arranged.
