Breast Cancer
Breast cancer treatment is individualized based on stage and tumor biology, usually in a multidisciplinary setting.
When to consult
Breast lump, nipple discharge (especially blood-stained), skin/nipple retraction, non-healing ulcer, axillary lump, abnormal mammogram/USG, or biopsy suggesting malignancy.
Typical evaluation
Triple assessment (clinical exam + imaging + tissue diagnosis), receptor testing (ER/PR/HER2), and stage work-up when indicated. Treatment sequencing (upfront surgery vs neoadjuvant therapy) is planned accordingly.
Surgery (high-level)
Breast conserving surgery or mastectomy; sentinel node biopsy / axillary management as appropriate. Reconstruction options may be discussed when relevant.
