Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My aunt is in the initial stage of breast cancer. Is it necessary to remove one of her breast along with the tumor or is it possible to save the breast? Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Consult an oncosurgeon for an opinion. After removal of breast there are reconstruction options like an implant or flap.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
