Mastectomy

Removal of breast tissue when necessary to treat or prevent breast cancer.

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy

A minimally invasive technique used to determine whether breast cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes.

Breast Cancer Surgery Planning

High-Risk Breast Cancer Evaluation

Assessment and surgical consultation for patients with increased hereditary breast cancer risk.

Image-Guided Breast Procedures

Biopsies and localization techniques used to precisely target abnormal tissue.

You may be referred to a breast surgical oncologist if you experience:

• A newly diagnosed breast cancer
• An abnormal mammogram or breast MRI
• A breast lump or unexplained breast change
• A biopsy showing abnormal or precancerous cells
• A strong family history of breast cancer
• Genetic mutations linked to breast cancer risk (such as BRCA1 or BRCA2)
• The need for surgical consultation or a second opinion

Early evaluation allows our team to guide you through diagnostic testing, treatment planning, and surgical options.
