Choosing the right breast cancer surgeon

Choosing a surgeon to treat your breast cancer may be one of the most important decisions you will make. While there are many doctors who perform breast cancer surgeries, most of them do not specialize in breast cancer quite like a breast-focused surgeon does.

With years of experience focused on breast disease, our team of board-certified breast-focused surgeons have special breast cancer expertise that gives patients the best chance for a positive outcome.

What is a breast-focused surgeon?

A breast-focused surgeon is a surgeon who specializes in breast cancer and other diseases of the breast. Areas of a breast cancer surgeon’s expertise include:

Lumpectomies, also called breast-sparing surgery
Mastectomies, including skin and nipple-sparing surgeries
Lymph node surgeries, such as axillary node dissection and sentinel node biopsy
Preventive/prophylactic mastectomy for patients at high-risk of developing breast cancer

Better outcomes with a breast-focused surgeon

Since breast cancer treatment often begins with surgery, a good surgical result paves the way for the best possible prognosis. In fact, studies show that breast cancer patients treated by breast-focused surgeons have better outcomes.

Evidence-based protocols for breast cancer treatment evolve regularly. Our team of surgeons stays up to date with the latest evidence, which translates to better care and clinical outcomes for our patients.
