Treatment and Procedures
Explore information about breast imaging, diagnostic procedures, and surgical treatment options.
Breast Imaging
It refers to the diagnostic techniques to identify breast-related conditions, including mammography, sonography, MRI, and more.
Mammography, ultrasound, and MRI may be used to investigate breast findings when clinically indicated, depending on individual needs and service availability.
LEARN MOREBiopsy: Non-palpable Lesions
It is a procedure where a small sample of breast tissue is taken for examination when there are suspicious findings in breast imaging.
Image-guided biopsy may be considered for selected abnormalities identified on imaging that cannot be felt during a physical examination.
LEARN MOREMultidisciplinary Approach
A multidisciplinary approach involves relevant healthcare professionals contributing to assessment and treatment planning when appropriate.
Depending on the patient's needs, care planning may involve surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, and other clinicians. The team involved depends on the clinical circumstances and services available.
LEARN MOREPre-chemo Marker Placement
Marker placement may be used in selected breast cancer cases before treatment, depending on the clinical plan.
A marker may be placed in a targeted area to help clinicians locate it during subsequent imaging or surgery. The need for and timing of marker placement are determined by the treating team.

Breast Surgery Options
Breast Conservation Surgery
A procedure that removes cancerous tissue while preserving as much of the breast as clinically appropriate. Suitability and expected outcomes depend on the individual diagnosis and treatment plan.
Breast Oncoplasty
A surgical approach that combines removal of breast cancer with techniques intended to address breast shape and appearance. The suitable approach and likely results vary by patient.
Post-Mastectomy Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction may be considered after mastectomy and may involve implants or the patient's own tissue. Options, risks, and expected appearance vary and should be discussed with the treating surgeon.
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
A procedure that examines selected lymph nodes to help assess whether breast cancer has spread to them. The results are considered alongside other clinical findings when planning care.
Microdochectomy
Microdochectomy involves removal of a breast duct in selected cases, such as certain types of persistent nipple discharge. A clinician determines whether the procedure is appropriate after assessment.
Risk Reduction Surgeries
Risk-reducing breast surgery may be discussed with selected individuals whose assessment indicates a substantially increased risk of breast cancer. Decisions depend on individual risk factors, clinical advice, and informed discussion of benefits and risks.
