Comprehensive Breast Cancer Management by Dr. Jaipalreddy Pogal

Dr. Jaipalreddy Pogal, a reliable and one of the best breast cancer specialists in PCMC and Pune, offers expert care in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of breast cancer. Breast cancer is a complex disease with diverse physical and biological characteristics, making personalized treatment essential. The approach to breast cancer management varies based on factors such as tumor size, location, stage, patient age, overall health, and personal preferences. Treatment is generally classified into local therapy and systemic treatment. Local therapies, such as surgery and radiation, target the tumor within the breast, while systemic treatments, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hormonal therapy, and immunotherapy, address cancer cells throughout the body. Dr. Pogal employs an individualized approach, ensuring that each patient receives the most effective and minimally invasive treatment plan suited to their specific condition.

Surgical Approaches in Breast Cancer Treatment

Surgery remains one of the primary treatment modalities for breast cancer, with two basic types of surgical procedures—lumpectomy and mastectomy. Lumpectomy, also referred to as breast-conserving surgery, partial mastectomy, or wide excision, involves removing only the tumor and a small margin of surrounding healthy tissue, preserving the breast as much as possible. This approach is often recommended for patients with early-stage breast cancer or those who wish to retain their natural breast structure. On the other hand, mastectomy involves the complete removal of one or both breasts and is considered for patients with large tumors, multiple cancerous areas, or a high genetic risk of recurrence. In addition to these surgical procedures, Dr. Pogal also specializes in sentinel lymph node biopsy and axillary lymph node dissection to evaluate cancer spread. His expertise in advanced surgical techniques, combined with a patient-centric approach, ensures the highest quality of care for those battling breast cancer in Pune and PCMC. With a commitment to compassionate care and cutting-edge treatment, Dr. Jaipalreddy Pogal empowers patients with the knowledge and medical support needed to fight breast cancer with confidence.
