Oncoplastic Surgery

Patients often express concerns about the potential impact of surgery on their appearance. At AP Breast Centre, our surgeons are highly skilled in Oncoplastic Surgical techniques, which prioritize achieving outstanding cosmetic outcomes while upholding oncological principles during extensive breast cancer resection.

Oncoplastic techniques expand treatment options, offering more women the possibility of lumpectomy with immediate local reconstruction instead of mastectomy. Additionally, surgeons may adjust the size or shape of the contralateral breast to ensure symmetry and balance.

Furthermore, women diagnosed with DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ), a noninvasive form of cancer, can also benefit from oncoplastic techniques. DCIS often presents challenges in excision due to its distribution within the breast ductal system. In the past, mastectomy was sometimes necessary for complete removal. However, the innovative application of oncoplastic methods now allows many women with DCIS to preserve their breasts with excellent results.
