Cancer

Most breast cancer types include breast lumps and nodules. Only the inflammatory breast cancer does not include lumps and in this case the whole breast swells and hurts. But usually this is how you realize you have breast cancer: you feel a lump in your breast. Once you feel it, you immediately go to a doctor for diagnosis and if it's what you suspected, it will have to be confirmed by the biopsy. Then, depending on the stage of the cancer and of the type, your oncologist will recommend a treatment for you. The treatment of choice for most cases is primarily surgery.

During this surgery you will have the lumps, that is the small cancer tumours in your breast eliminated. This is the most important part of your cancer treatment because the whole tumour or tumours must be removed . If there is any cancer infected tissue left inside, no matter how small, it will spread rapidly to the neighbouring tissues and then to the lymph nodes near your breast and finally it will invade your whole body, going to the most distant organs through the lymphatic system and the blood stream.



But going to the opposite example, it's not very good to have too much tissue removed if it's not necessary. So you won't have a mastectomy just to remove a single small lump, right? It is very important to have a good surgeon perform the breast cancer surgery because nobody wants to risk anything, right? That is why people are looking for the best surgeons in the area where they live so that they will not be forced to go very far for the surgery.

The surgeon must also be familiar with this kind of surgery, a specialist in breast cancer surgery if possible, because there are so many different kinds of surgeries that can be performed on a human body and it's better to be helped by a professional who has a wide experience with this particulat kind of surgery. They must know exactly what to do and what to expect in case something goes wrong. If you live in Brookjlyn for example, you will surely want to know the best breast cancer surgeons in Brooklyn.



But after the surgery and all the other forms of treatment that might follow it, like chemotherapy and radiotherapy you will probably want a plastic surgery to reconstruct your breast because no woman wants to have ugly scars on her chest. Some of the breast cancer patients might also choose breast implants if they had a partial or even a total mastectomy that removed a big part or even all her breast tissue. Well, there are some surgeons who try to combine the two types of surgery and give you also the possibility to have reconstructive surgery as part of the breast cancer treatment. Most of these surgeons do not perform surgeries where they put implants in the patients' breasts, but only reconstruct the breast as much as they can.
