Breast Cancer Treatment

About Breast Cancer Treatment

Breast cancer treatment in India is planned by a dedicated multidisciplinary tumor board that reviews your mammography, biopsy, and hormone-receptor (ER/PR/HER2) reports before recommending a course tailored to the stage and type of tumor. Depending on the diagnosis, care may combine breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) or mastectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy, targeted therapy (such as trastuzumab for HER2-positive disease), hormone therapy, and radiation to reduce recurrence risk. Reconstructive options, including immediate or delayed breast reconstruction, are available for patients who choose mastectomy. Leading Indian oncology centers use digital mammography, MRI-guided biopsy, and intraoperative frozen-section analysis to plan conservative, tissue-sparing surgery wherever the tumor stage allows. Patients typically need a short hospital stay for surgery, with chemotherapy and radiation delivered on an outpatient basis over the following weeks — many patients plan a longer India stay to complete an initial cycle of adjuvant treatment before returning home under a shared-care plan with their local oncologist. Second opinions on biopsy slides and imaging are reviewed free of charge before you commit to travel.
