Seamless support from diagnosis to post treatment care
Ensuring breast health is imperative for women of all ages, spanning adolescence, reproductive, and post-menopausal stages. Understanding and monitoring the changes in breasts during these phases is crucial. Breast conditions encompass both non-cancerous and cancerous issues, demanding careful management by a specialized breast expert and evidence-based treatment. With Breast Cancer incidence rising alarmingly, women must receive counseling on early breast self-examination and screening. Modern treatment advances now enable the preservation of breasts even in cases of cancer. At BirthRight by Rainbow Hospitals, our adept oncologists offer a spectrum of services:
Surgery: Tailored procedures such as Breast Conservation Surgery, Mastectomy, or Axillary Surgery.
Chemotherapy: Utilizing anti-cancer drugs intravenously or orally to annihilate cancer cells.
Radiotherapy: Precisely administered high-energy X-rays targeting localized cancer cells in the breast and surrounding tissues.
Hormone Therapy: Targeting estrogen and progesterone receptors in tumors through various hormonal therapies.
Targeted Therapy: Employing drugs that inhibit cancer growth by interfering with specific cellular processes. Therapy selection is contingent on the distinct features of the breast cancer in question.
