Breast Tumors and Breast Reconstructive Surgery

Dear [Name], it's natural to feel anxious about breast lumps, but understanding their nature is your strongest weapon. A tumor is a mass of abnormal tissue, and it's important to distinguish between two types: benign and malignant. Remember that early detection means a 95% higher chance of recovery. Therefore, choosing a qualified consultant is your best chance for a successful treatment journey.

Breast tumor treatment is one of our most important services at Dr. Kyrillos Medhat's Center – Consultant in Oncology, General Surgery, and Liver Transplantation – where we guarantee the highest levels of accuracy in diagnosis and treatment planning. Here are the details:

About Breast Tumors

As mentioned, breast tumors are divided into two types: benign and malignant. We can explain the difference between them as follows:

• Benign Tumors: These are non-cancerous tumors, and doctors often leave them untreated because they don't invade surrounding tissues. They may only be removed if they grow large and cause pain or significant pressure.

• Malignant tumors are cancerous tumors that can be aggressive and require careful examination. This is where a biopsy comes in to determine the type of tumor and the appropriate treatment. In some rare cases, cancer cells may spread to other organs (such as the liver or bones), a condition known as metastasis. However, it is still treated as primary breast cancer with specialized treatment protocols.

Where do breast tumors originate?

You might wonder where this growth starts. Breast tumors, whether benign or malignant, are actually abnormal cell growth within the breast. These cells can start in any of the main parts of the breast, but the growth often appears in:

• The glands responsible for milk production.
• The milk ducts.
• Other surrounding breast tissue.

Understanding where the tumor originates determines its type: whether it is benign, which is not a major concern, or malignant, which requires specialized intervention and treatment. At Dr. [Name]'s clinic... At Dr. Kyrillos Medhat's, we utilize the latest diagnostic methods (such as mammography) to pinpoint the starting point with exceptional accuracy, ensuring a targeted and effective treatment plan.
