Pune (Maharashtra) [India], June 12: Undergoing advanced oncoplastic surgery for breast cancer can be a daunting experience, bringing with it not just physical but also emotional and psychological challenges. That's why there is a need for a holistic care program to provide breast cancer patients with the comprehensive support they need. These programmes focus on mind-body-spirit wellness, and offer patients a wide range of resources before, during, and after surgery to ensure they receive the highest quality of care. At a time when patients need it most, a holistic approach that addresses not just the disease, but the person as a whole, is the need of the hour.
As per the latest statistics, nearly 164,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in India every year. It has gained a severe increase in the number of cases with numerous new patients seen in middle-aged women. Out of the multiple surgeries available for curing the unfortunate ailment, Oncoplastic Breast Surgery (OBS) is foreseen to be an integral part of breast cancer treatment as it ensures oncologically safe surgery with complete tumour removal, surgical restoration of the breast shape and size and enhancement of breast cosmesis.
Advanced oncoplastic surgery combines the expertise of a cancer surgeon with the artistry of a plastic surgeon, providing patients with both functional and aesthetic benefits. By prioritising the radical removal of cancerous tissue and negative margins, this procedure ensures patients receive the highest standard of care. With the principles of breast cancer and aesthetic surgery seamlessly integrated, this innovative approach offers a safe and effective way to address cancer while preserving the natural appearance and function of the breast.
