Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, is proud to establish the Breast Care Clinic, offering comprehensive breast health services, including screening, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer and other breast-related conditions.
The Breast Care Clinic at Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, is dedicated to the prevention, detection, and treatment of breast cancer. With advanced diagnostics like mammograms, our clinic detects breast cancer early to improve survival rates. We also prioritise patient education, encouraging women to get counselling on early self-examination and screening.
Mammography is a low-dose X-ray imaging test of the breast that can detect cancer in its early stages, often before symptoms appear. Early detection greatly increases the chance of cancer being confined to the breast and lowers the risk of it spreading.
Women aged 40 and older should prioritise getting a mammogram every one to two years. It is also recommended to have a mammogram if a woman of any age experiences any of the following warning signs:
A breast ultrasound uses sound waves to create images inside the breast, identifying cysts and tumours. If you are a woman under 40 with average risk, it may be advisable to undergo a breast ultrasound performed by a radiologist. If there are uncertainties, further assessments such as mammography or breast MRI can be utilised as diagnostic tools.
A breast ultrasound may be performed to:
A breast MRI creates detailed images of the inside of the breast using powerful magnets, radio waves, and a computer. This test is used to detect breast cancer and can help rule out cancer when other breast issues are present. Doctors recommend breast MRIs for:
The following precise and minimally invasive procedures are exclusively available at Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills, in the Telangana region.
An ultrasound-guided breast biopsy uses sound waves to locate and sample a lump for microscopic examination. It is done outpatient with minimal discomfort and quick recovery.
A vacuum-assisted breast biopsy is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure that collects tissue samples for diagnosis. It is highly accurate, especially for investigating breast calcifications and small lesions.
A stereotactic breast biopsy uses a specialised mammogram to guide the biopsy procedure. It is less invasive than surgery, causes minimal scarring, and effectively evaluates calcium deposits or small masses not visible on ultrasound.(stereotactic breast biopsy can be further clarified by explaining that it is often used for evaluating calcifications or small masses that are not visible on ultrasound or mammogram)
An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) guided breast biopsy is a procedure to locate and extract small amounts of breast tissue. This procedure is minimally invasive and results in minimal to no scarring.
Chemotherapy uses anticancer (cytotoxic) drugs to kill cancer cells by stopping their growth. It is usually administered in cycles, where you receive one or a combination of chemotherapy drugs followed by a rest period to allow your body to recover. Chemotherapy can help control or shrink the cancer and alleviate symptoms.
Hormone therapy, also known as endocrine therapy, works by either reducing the amount of hormones in the body or blocking them from reaching breast cancer cells. This therapy is often used after surgery as adjuvant therapy to help reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.
Breast cancer surgery is the most effective way to remove breast cancer when it is technically possible. There are different types of breast surgeries, each serving different purposes depending on the situation.
The robotic-assisted, nipple-sparing mastectomy is an advanced procedure that is conducted using a small incision, employing a robotic camera and tiny instruments attached to a robotic arm. This arm is controlled by the surgeon on a computer console. At Apollo, our robotic surgeons utilise the da Vinci Surgical System for this procedure.
