Benefits and Risks of Breast Cancer Surgery

Benefits from Surgery as a Treatment

Although the need for surgery is never an easy thing to deal with, our staff and surgeons are here to help you in every way possible. UTMIST surgeons are expert trained at minimally invasive techniques which means more accurate, safer surgeries with faster recovery times.

One advantage to surgery is that it is meant to excise cancerous tissue completely and deliver the best chances at a full cure. Another advantage is that expert surgeons are able to treat only affected areas and leave healthy tissue in place and unaltered. After surgery, it may not be necessary to have radiotherapy, which means less unwanted side effects. A successful surgery can also result in a faster total recovery time than many other treatments.

Our physicians will discuss with you the most appropriate type of surgery for you, depending on the size and position of the cancer. Depending on your unique situation, you may have a choice of treatment. We know these are important decisions, so we make sure to fully discuss your options with you, including the benefits and disadvantages of each.

Contact us today to learn more your options and how our leading-edge surgeons and staff can give you the best possible outcome.

My surgeon and his team helped me to really understand everything that was happening each step of the way. As promised, my recovery was speedy and I was back to my regular self sooner than I expected. The front office staff and nurses are A+.
