How Do I Choose a Surgeon for Breast Cancer Treatment?

What to Look for when Choosing a Surgeon?

If you are having treatment privately you can choose your surgeon from a list of available options. Ideally one would like to have an experienced surgeon with training from a reputed centre and most importantly trained in both breast cancer and plastic surgery (oncoplastic surgery). A surgeon trained like that can do surgery with best possible cancer and cosmetic outcome. Moreover, he/she can help avoid mastectomy by using advanced techniques and can offer immediate breast reconstruction (at the time of cancer surgery) where mastectomy cannot be avoided.
