Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is a significant health concern affecting millions of women worldwide. It occurs when abnormal cells in the breast tissue grow and multiply uncontrollably, forming a tumor. While breast cancer predominantly affects women, men can also develop this disease.
At Surabhi Medical Hall, we are committed to providing comprehensive care and support for individuals affected by breast cancer. Our experienced team is dedicated to offering personalized treatment plans, compassionate support, and expert guidance throughout every step of your journey.
The exact cause of breast cancer is not fully understood, but several factors may increase the risk, including genetics, family history, hormonal factors, lifestyle choices, and environmental exposures. While some risk factors cannot be controlled, such as age and family history, others, like maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol intake, and avoiding smoking, can be modified to reduce the risk.
Breast cancer can present in various forms, ranging from localized tumors confined to the breast tissue to more advanced stages that involve nearby lymph nodes or distant organs. Symptoms may include a lump or thickening in the breast or underarm area, changes in breast size or shape, nipple discharge or inversion, skin changes such as redness or dimpling, and persistent breast pain.
Early detection is crucial for improving breast cancer outcomes. Regular breast self-exams, clinical breast exams by a healthcare professional, and mammograms are important screening tools for detecting breast cancer in its early stages when treatment is most effective. It is essential to follow recommended screening guidelines based on your age, risk factors, and personal medical history.
If breast cancer is suspected based on screening tests or symptoms, further diagnostic tests such as breast ultrasound, MRI, or biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis and determine the extent of the disease.
Treatment for breast cancer varies depending on the type, stage, and characteristics of the tumor, as well as the individual’s overall health and preferences. Options may include surgery (such as lumpectomy or mastectomy), radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, or a combination of these treatments.
At Surabhi Medical Hall, we take a multidisciplinary approach to breast cancer care, involving a team of specialists, including oncologists, surgeons, radiation therapists, nurses, and support staff. We provide comprehensive services, including diagnosis, treatment, survivorship care, and supportive services such as genetic counseling, nutritional support, and psychological counseling.

We understand that a breast cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, but you are not alone. Our team is dedicated to guiding you through every step of your treatment and recovery, ensuring you receive the best possible care and support.
