Breast Cancer Staging — Why It Drives Every Decision

Accurate staging is the foundation of every breast cancer treatment plan. Dr. Mallika Dhanda performs comprehensive staging assessments to determine the most effective surgical and treatment approach for each patient.

01
Clinical Breast Examination

Detailed breast and axillary (underarm lymph node) assessment to evaluate the extent of disease and identify any clinical abnormalities.

02
Mammography & Ultrasound

Bilateral mammography and breast ultrasound help accurately assess tumor size, location, and involvement of surrounding tissues.

03
MRI & Advanced Imaging

MRI breast, CT scans, PET-CT, or bone scans may be recommended for selected patients to detect multifocal or advanced disease.

04
Core Needle Biopsy

Tissue diagnosis confirms cancer type, grade, hormone receptor status (ER/PR), HER2 expression, and Ki-67 proliferation index.

05
Lymph Node Staging

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) or axillary lymph node dissection helps determine whether cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes.

06
Treatment Planning

Accurate staging guides surgery type, reconstruction options, chemotherapy decisions, radiation planning, and long-term outcomes.

Every breast cancer patient at Dr. Mallika Dhanda's practice is reviewed by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) before treatment begins. This globally recognized approach ensures personalized treatment planning and helps achieve the best possible clinical and cosmetic outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Breast conservation surgery (BCS or lumpectomy) removes only the tumor and a margin of healthy tissue while preserving most of the breast. Mastectomy removes the entire breast. For many early-stage breast cancers, BCS with radiation offers survival outcomes equivalent to mastectomy. The best option depends on tumor characteristics, breast anatomy, and patient preference.
Yes. Many patients with early-stage breast cancer are suitable candidates for breast conservation surgery combined with radiation therapy. Advanced oncoplastic techniques allow larger tumors to be removed while preserving breast appearance and achieving excellent cancer control.
Oncoplastic breast surgery combines cancer removal with plastic surgery techniques during the same procedure. This approach helps maintain breast shape and symmetry, improves cosmetic outcomes, and may allow breast preservation in cases that previously required mastectomy.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) identifies and removes the first lymph node(s) that drain the breast tumor. If these nodes are cancer-free, additional lymph node surgery is often unnecessary. This reduces the risk of arm swelling (lymphedema), nerve injury, and prolonged recovery.
Nipple-sparing mastectomy removes breast tissue while preserving the skin, nipple, and areola, creating a more natural appearance after reconstruction. Eligibility depends on tumor location, imaging findings, and the absence of nipple involvement. A detailed evaluation is required before recommending this procedure.
Yes. Immediate breast reconstruction performed during the same operation as mastectomy is often preferred because it reduces emotional impact, avoids a second major surgery, and provides better cosmetic outcomes. In certain situations, delayed reconstruction may be recommended depending on the overall treatment plan.
