Breast Surgery

Direttore: Dott. Antonio Toesca

Description

Breast surgery at the IRCCS in Candiolo is concerned with the treatment of benign and malignant diseases of the breast, with the goal of removing the lesion and, when possible, preserving the aesthetics of the breast, ensuring the patient’s best quality of life.

A personalized and multidisciplinary approach

Each patient is followed in an individualized manner, based on the clinical features of the tumor, individual medical history, and personal needs and preferences. The course of treatment is also shared in a multidisciplinary consultation complete with oncologic, radiation therapy, anatomopathologic, radiologic, genetic, psychological, and surgical evaluation before each major therapeutic step. The treatment decision is based on an ongoing dialogue between the patient and the medical and nursing team of the Breast Surgery and the Breast Unit, encouraging active participation in therapeutic choices.

Within the Breast Unit, the plastic surgeoncollaboratesclosely with all other specialists to offer an integrated, comprehensive approach that accompanies the patient from diagnosis to treatment to follow-up

Activities

  • Minimally invasive conservative surgery: tumor removal while preserving as much breast tissue as possible
  • Demolition surgery: robotic mastectomy and endoscopic mastectomy
  • Reconstructive surgery: breast reconstruction after surgery, often concurrent with removal
  • Axillary surgery: assessment and treatment of axillary lymph nodes, critical for staging and treatment plan

The goal is to offer effective care that is attentive not only to the disease but also to the woman’s needs.
