Breast Surgery at Kishiwada Tokushukai Hospital provides care for breast cancer
across the treatment pathway, from diagnosis and surgery to systemic therapy and radiation therapy.
Treatment plans are developed based on clinical findings and individual patient factors.
What we treat
The department focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.
Care is provided for a range of stages, including early disease,
as well as recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
Surgical treatment
Surgical options include breast-conserving surgery, mastectomy,
sentinel lymph node biopsy, and axillary management.
Intraoperative pathological assessment may be used to evaluate margins
and lymph node involvement when indicated.
Surgical approach is determined based on tumour characteristics,
disease stage, and overall treatment planning.
Reconstruction and preservation
Breast reconstruction using autologous tissue is available in selected cases.
Nipple-sparing approaches may be considered depending on tumour location
and surgical assessment.
Reconstruction and tissue preservation are assessed individually,
with priority placed on oncological safety.
Systemic and radiation therapy
Systemic therapy, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and endocrine therapy,
is provided according to clinical indication.
Radiation therapy is coordinated within the hospital as part of overall treatment planning.
For recurrent or metastatic disease, combined treatment approaches are considered
based on clinical condition and treatment response.
Appointment
Appointments are required in principle.
A referral letter from another medical institution is recommended but not mandatory.
