Breast cancer surgery involves removing cancerous tissue from the breast and, in some cases, nearby lymph nodes as part of a broader treatment plan. Surgery may be recommended on its own or combined with other therapies, depending on the type and stage of cancer. Each decision is made carefully, with the aim of achieving effective cancer control while supporting recovery, comfort and quality of life.

Supporting Women Through Breast Cancer

A breast cancer diagnosis can affect far more than physical health. Many women experience emotional strain, uncertainty and concerns about body image, family responsibilities and what lies ahead. Every experience is personal, and there is no single “right” way to feel or respond.

At Maven Surgery, we cater to a wide range of breast conditions by delivering comprehensive services, encompassing both surgical and non-surgical treatments, tailored to meet the specific needs of each condition. Committed to reducing stress and anxiety among cancer patients, Dr Chong specialises in minimally invasive techniques aimed at preserving the breast.

Our team is available to offer guidance on the most suitable treatment options and assist with inquiries related to both medical and financial claims.

Care and Guidance at Every Stage of Treatment

From the first consultation through breast cancer treatment and follow-up, your breast cancer surgery care at Maven Surgery is structured to support informed decision-making while remaining flexible to your individual needs.

  • Step 1: Initial Consultation & Assessment Your journey begins with a detailed discussion about your symptoms, medical history and concerns. This consultation allows your surgeon to understand your situation fully, answer questions and outline the next steps clearly.
  • Step 2: Diagnostic Evaluation If needed, imaging studies and biopsies are arranged to confirm the diagnosis and assess the characteristics of the cancer. These results are essential in guiding treatment decisions and ensuring the most appropriate approach is taken.
  • Step 3: Personalised Treatment Planning Once the diagnosis is confirmed, a treatment plan is developed based on the cancer type, stage and your personal circumstances. This may involve surgery alone or surgery combined with other therapies, depending on what is most suitable for you.
  • Step 4: Surgical Treatment (When Required) When surgery is recommended, the approach is chosen carefully based on medical factors and your preferences. Options include breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy. Lymph node assessment, such as sentinel node biopsy, may be performed for invasive cancers if indicated.
  • Step 5: Additional Cancer Treatments Some patients may benefit from treatments such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy or hormone therapy after surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence. These options are discussed in a clear and supportive manner, so you know what to expect.
  • Step 6: Recovery & Post-Treatment Care After treatment, follow-up care focuses on healing, monitoring and long-term well-being. Support continues beyond surgery to help you adjust both physically and emotionally, with guidance provided as your needs evolve.
