Breast cancer treatment

Breast cancer is a disease that concerns many Thai women and is the leading cause of death worldwide. However, with current medical advancements, treatment for this disease does not always require a full mastectomy. Patients diagnosed early can choose a treatment option that preserves the breast. One popular and effective option is breast-conserving surgery, available at Bangkok Cancer Hospital Rayong.

What is breast-conserving surgery?

Breast-conserving surgery is a surgical procedure that aims to remove only the cancerous tumor while preserving as much healthy breast tissue as possible. After surgery, most patients will undergo radiation therapy to prevent cancer recurrence. This procedure helps preserve breast shape, minimizes psychological impact, and improves the patient’s quality of life.

Advantages of breast-conserving surgery

• Removing only the cancerous tumor does not require the removal of the entire breast.
