Nashville Breast Center

Nashville Breast Center We are dedicated to providing expert, individualized and compassionate breast health and breast cancer care to patients in Nashville, Tennessee.

Few things are more frightening than a diagnosis of breast cancer. Not only is a woman suddenly concerned about survival, she worries about her family, her responsibilities and even her physical identity. Oncologist breast surgeon Pat Whitworth and the Nashville Breast Center team are making that journey considerably less terrifying.
“First, most patients with breast cancer are cured and go on to live normal lives. Furthermore, most patients do not need chemotherapy. We have molecular genomic tumor profiling to tell us who benefits from chemotherapy and who doesn’t. So we prescribe chemotherapy only for those patients who have a potentially life-saving benefit”. Preservation and even enhancement of physical appearance are now a key part of treatment. Working closely with the plastic surgeon, Dr Whitworth incorporates onco-plastic surgery principles for each patient. For lumpectomy the breast is restored with a lift procedure (including the opposite breast for symmetry) when needed. For mastectomy the skin and often the ni**le are preserved; the glandular tissue is replaced with an implant or other tissue, making it difficult or impossible to know a mastectomy has been done.
“Our guiding principle is to match the treatment to the patient, considering her spiritual, emotional and physical identity as well as the ideal curative approach”. Dr Whitworth specialized in surgical oncology at the MD Anderson Cancer Center; he has served as Vice Chair for breast research for the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group and Chair of the Board of Directors for the American Society of Breast Surgeons.

A huge thank you to the Tennessee Titans for including us in this year’s Crucial Catch celebration at Nissan Stadium!

We're proud to have had our patients and providers join Ascension Saint Thomas in supporting the NFL’s Crucial Catch initiative to fight cancer through early detection and risk reduction. The league, its teams, players, the NFL Players Association, and the American Cancer Society are united in their mission to provide individuals with the knowledge and tools to better understand early detection and ways to reduce their cancer risk. 🎗️

Together, we’re making every catch count in the fight against cancer. 💙

October is 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, and while much attention is given to treatment and recovery, one important topic that often goes overlooked is sensation after breast reconstruction. 🎀

Our dedicated team of oncologists, breast surgeons, and plastic surgeons from Nashville Breast Center, Tennessee Oncology and The Surgical Clinic are proud to be certified in a groundbreaking technique from resensation by axogen. This innovative approach to breast nerve repair offers the potential to restore feeling following reconstruction surgery after a mastectomy. We’re honored to be the 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗲 where all key physicians involved in the breast cancer surgery journey are certified in this advanced technique—bringing new hope and options to women navigating breast cancer recovery.
