Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops when abnormal cells in the breast grow and divide uncontrollably, forming a lump or mass in the breast tissue. Breast cancer can develop in different parts of the breast, including the milk ducts, lobules, or connective tissue. Breast cancer can be classified into different types based on the specific cells that are affected. Breast cancer can occur in both men and women, but it is much more common in women. It is important to detect breast cancer early, as early detection can lead to more effective treatment options, lower treatment cost and better outcomes.

A breast cancer specialist is a medical professional with specialized training and expertise in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of breast cancer. There are several types of healthcare professionals who specialize in breast cancer, including surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, breast imaging radiologists, and pathologists.

Breast cancer specialists are doctors who have expertise and training in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. You should consult a breast cancer specialist when you are diagnosed with breast cancer or when you have a suspicious breast abnormality that requires further evaluation. You can also consult a breast cancer specialist when you want a second opinion or when you have a high-risk of developing breast cancer due to a strong family history, genetic mutations, or personal history of breast cancer.

Breast cancer symptoms can vary from person to person, and not everyone experiences symptoms. However, some common signs and symptoms of breast cancer include:

• A lump or thickening in or near the breast or underarm area.
• A change in the size or shape of the breast.
• Dimpling or puckering of the skin on the breast.
• Redness or flakiness of the skin on the breast.
• Nipple discharge (not breast milk).
• A change in the appearance of the nipple (e.g., it becomes inverted).
• Pain in the breast or nipple that does not go away.

It is important to note that these symptoms can also be caused by other conditions that may be non-cancerous. If you notice any changes in your breast or experience any of these symptoms, it’s essential to consult your doctor at the earliest.

Tests and procedures used to diagnose breast cancer include breast exam, mammogram, breast ultrasound, biopsy, and breast MRI. Tests and procedures used to stage breast cancer may include blood tests, mammogram, breast MRI, bone scan, CT scan and PET scan. 

Your breast cancer treatment would be based on type of breast cancer, its stage and grade, size, and whether the cancer cells are sensitive to hormones. Your breast cancer specialist determines your breast cancer treatment options. You may undergo a surgery and may even receive additional treatments like chemotherapy, hormone therapy or radiation. Your breast cancer specialist may use a combination of treatments. In certain situations, chemotherapy might also be used before surgery.

Breast cancer specialists work together as a team to provide comprehensive and individualized care to breast cancer patients. They may also work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as radiologists, pathologists, oncologists, nurses, social workers, physical therapists, etc. to provide a multidisciplinary approach to breast cancer treatment and management.

When you are detected with breast cancer, you have to find the right breast cancer specialist and the hospital providing the latest and advanced treatment. If such treatment or surgery is not available in your home country or it is too expensive or you have a long waiting time, then you may consider traveling to countries like India for your breast cancer treatment. India offers top-notch breast cancer care with accredited hospitals, highly-skilled and experienced specialists and advanced technology.
