Bigger surgery does not mean better cancer treatment. In breast cancer care, research has shown that removing more tissue doesn’t always improve survival outcomes.
Today, breast cancer is treated as both a local and systemic disease. In many cases, breast-conserving surgery combined with proper adjuvant therapy can be just as effective as a mastectomy.
The approach has evolved from “remove as much as possible” to “save as much as possible.” Because in modern oncology, precision matters more than size.

Breast cancer surgery is never one-size-fits-all. The treatment approach depends not only on the tumor size, but also on breast size, anatomy, and the overall profile of the patient. The same tumor can require different surgical procedures in different individuals, with the goal always being effective cancer removal while preserving appearance and quality of life. As explained by Dr. Garvit Chitkara, breast-tumor ratio plays a key role in deciding the most suitable surgical plan - because personalised care matters.

The underarm (axillary) lymph nodes are often the first place breast cancer spreads. Enlarged nodes can be an early sign of breast cancer, even if the breast lump is small. It's important to monitor any changes in this area and seek medical advice for early detection and treatment.

Most breast cancer recurrences occur within the first 5 years, especially in aggressive subtypes, as dormant cancer cells can reactivate. However, some hormone-positive cancers may even recur after 10-15 years. Regular follow-up care is crucial to monitor your health and detect any changes early, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
