Description

Breast Cancer is one of the most common types of cancer found in women. It mostly afflicts women above the age of 50. Substantial Support and advancement in the technology have helped in minimizing the number of deaths caused because of breast cancer, but still, there are a lot of women whose treatment is delayed because of the lack of services, right diagnosis and high cost of treatment in their country. So, these patients have started travelling overseas in countries like India in search of affordable quality treatment. Breast cancer doctors in India have the required training and qualifications for delivering excellent results. Every month over two dozen breast cancer patients get in touch with our company and seek medical treatment assistance in India.

FAQ

1.    How do I know who is the right doctor for me? Is the doctor board certified? In what field? – “How do I study a doctor’s profile”?

2.    What is the difference between an interventional radiologist and surgical oncologist?

A surgical oncologist is a medical specialist who gains additional sub-specialty after training as a general surgeon. Gynecology Oncologist, Thoracic Surgical Oncologist etc. are surgeons who specialize in delivering cancer treatment for particular organs. A surgical oncologist can perform biopsies as well as the treatment, diagnosing the breast tissues of the patient.

Interventional Radiologist uses image-guidance for diagnosing and treating the patient by performing minimally invasive procedures instead of surgery. The technique focuses on utilizing the most advanced technology with the least invasive method in order to improve the outcomes and minimize the risk for the patients.

The main difference between these two specialties is that a surgical oncologist can provide services beyond diagnosis, treating the tumor by removing it permanently, while interventional radiologist can only diagnose particular types of conditions, and provide treatment for a limited type of benign diseases.

It is important to note that all surgical oncologists  and interventional radiologist do not obtain the same set of skills and training, and can provide additional medical services.

3.    What are the special interests/procedures that some of these doctors are performing?

Breast-Conserving Surgery (Quadrantectomy/ Lumpectomy/ Partial Mastectomy/ Segmental Mastectomy) – is a surgical process in which only the part containing cancerous tumor is removed from the breasts. The size of the breast removed in the procedure depends on the size of the tumor.

Mastectomy – is a surgical method in which the entire breast is removed, including the chest tissues as well as the nearby tissues. Double Mastectomy, involves removal of both the breasts.

Hormonal Therapy – Patients hormone can trigger the growth of cancer cells in the breast as the organ is associated with the hormones. Hormonal therapy focuses on balancing the ratio of hormones in the patient body, by providing medicine based treatment which includes SERMs, ERDs and aromatase inhibitors.

Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) – is a program which combines rehabilitation approach for treating and preventing the symptoms like Lymphedema after breast cancer treatment using compression garments, exercise, self-care and manual lymphatic drainage etc. Lymphedema is a symptom of breast cancer surgery that causes an abnormal swelling in the breast, arm, torso or hand, as a side effect of cancer treatment.

Patients can expect their doctors to ask or do the following things during their initial consultant:

When was cancer diagnosed? What symptoms are experienced by the patient?

Next, the doctor will discuss all the therapies, treatments and drugs used by the patient.
