Senior Consultant, Breast and Cancer Surgeon, EPIC Multispeciality Hospital, Ahmedabad
Contemporary breast surgery has evolved significantly with the integration of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and oncoplastic techniques, enabling effective cancer control while preserving breast aesthetics and function. Sentinel node mapping has largely replaced routine axillary lymph node dissection in early breast cancer, reducing surgical morbidity such as lymphedema and shoulder dysfunction. At the same time, oncoplastic surgery combines oncologic resection with plastic surgical principles, allowing wider tumor excision without compromising cosmetic outcomes. This shift reflects a broader philosophy in modern breast cancer care—achieving oncological safety while prioritizing quality of life and body image for patients. Together, these approaches represent a major step toward more personalized and less invasive breast cancer surgery.
