Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is a complex condition that requires a thorough investigation and personalized management plan. Dr George will guide you through every step, ensuring you receive the best care and support.

The process begins with detailed investigation to confirm the diagnosis and determine the stage of the cancer. This involves a physical examination, mammograms, ultrasounds, or MRI scans to identify abnormalities. If there’s a suspicious lump, a biopsy is performed to determine if it’s cancerous and, if so, what type of breast cancer it is.

Staging is crucial in breast cancer management, as it tells us whether the cancer has spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body. This often requires additional imaging tests like CT or PET scans.

With a confirmed diagnosis and stage, a treatment plan is tailored to your specific situation. Surgery can include lumpectomy or mastectomy, depending on the size and location of the tumour, as well as a consideration of patient preference. Radiation therapy, chemotherapy and hormone therapy may also be part of the treatment, depending on the type of cancer and its characteristics.

Dr George works with a multidisciplinary team of oncologists, radiologists, and surgeons to ensure you have a comprehensive approach to your treatment. If you’re facing a breast cancer diagnosis, remember that you’re not alone. Dr George and his team are here to help you navigate the journey, answer your questions, and provide compassionate care.
