Breast Oncology

What Does a Breast Oncology Specialist Do? - Breast Oncology Hospital in Hyderabad

Breast oncology focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing breast cancer and breast-related tumours. A specialist in this field evaluates breast lumps, nipple changes, pain, and abnormalities detected on mammograms or ultrasound.

A breast oncology surgeon performs procedures such as lumpectomy, mastectomy, sentinel node biopsy, and reconstructive surgeries. Medical treatments like chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormonal therapy fall under breast medical oncology. In contrast, radiation-focused treatments are managed by radiation specialists with expertise in radiation oncology and breast management.

Breast cancer requires precise diagnosis, early detection, and multidisciplinary treatment. Renova Hospitals provides comprehensive breast oncology care led by experienced surgeons, medical oncologists, radiologists, and rehabilitation experts.
