Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide, and timely surgical intervention plays a crucial role in successful treatment outcomes. In Lahore, patients seeking advanced and compassionate care trust breast cancer surgery performed by Dr. Ahsan Rao, a highly experienced surgeon who is also serving at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital. His expertise, combined with state of the art facilities, ensures patients receive treatment aligned with international standards.
Breast cancer surgery is not a one size fits all procedure. Each patient’s condition, cancer stage, tumor size, and overall health are carefully evaluated before recommending a surgical plan. As a skilled breast oncologist, Dr. Ahsan Rao focuses on personalized treatment strategies that prioritize both cancer control and quality of life. This patient centered approach allows for effective removal of cancer while preserving physical and emotional well being.
Common surgical options include breast conserving surgery, also known as lumpectomy, and mastectomy. Breast conserving surgery involves removing the tumor while retaining most of the breast tissue, often followed by radiation therapy. Mastectomy may be recommended in cases where the cancer is extensive or based on patient preference. Dr. Ahsan Rao ensures that patients fully understand each option, empowering them to make informed decisions about their care.
Another critical component of breast cancer surgery is lymph node evaluation. Sentinel lymph node biopsy and axillary lymph node dissection help determine whether cancer has spread beyond the breast. Accurate staging allows for appropriate post surgical treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, or hormone therapy. With his experience at Shaukat Khanum Hospital, Dr. Ahsan Rao applies evidence based techniques to achieve precise and safe surgical outcomes.
Beyond surgery, emotional support and clear communication are essential parts of the treatment journey. A diagnosis of breast cancer can be overwhelming, and patients often face anxiety and uncertainty. As a dedicated breast oncologist, Dr. Ahsan Rao is known for his empathetic approach, ensuring patients feel supported from diagnosis through recovery.
