Precision in Breast Cancer Surgery β€” Breast Preservation with accuracy and safety This video features Dr. Lala G. Ananda Robin, Surgical Oncologist at KIMSHEALTH Nagercoil, explaining how modern techniques help accurately locate and treat even non-palpable (hard-to-detect) breast tumors. πŸ” How are hidden tumors identified? When tumors are not easily felt, imaging techniques like ultrasound, mammogram or MRI are used to precisely locate them. A small wire is placed to mark the tumor before surgery, ensuring accurate removal with guided precision. πŸ’‰ Role of chemotherapy & radiation: For larger tumors, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is given before surgery to shrink the tumor. βœ” Makes breast-conservation the best way possible βœ” Followed by radiation for effective treatment βœ” Helps preserve the breast with good outcomes πŸ“ What if the tumor disappears after treatment? Before starting chemotherapy, a tiny clip is placed in the tumor (and lymph nodes if needed). Even if the tumor shrinks or becomes invisible, this clip helps surgeons to identify accurately and remove the affected area without loosing the healthy cells. 🩺 Why this matters: Precise tumor removal Higher safety and accuracy Breast preservation Better treatment outcomes Modern cancer care is not just about treatment β€” it’s about precision, safety, preservation and quality of life.
