General Surgery Specialist Opr. Dr. Yunus Öztürk said that they can treat breast cancer with breast conserving surgery without causing any aesthetic problems in the patient.

October draws attention all over the world as breast cancer awareness month. Experts also draw attention to breast cancer with various activities and emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. General Surgery Specialist Opr. Dr. Yunus Öztürk stated that with breast conserving surgery, patients regain their health without any aesthetic problems.

“When breast cancer is diagnosed early, treatment is completely possible”

Pointing out that early diagnosis is the most important factor in the fight against breast cancer, Medicana International Samsun Hospital General Surgery Specialist Opr. Dr. Yunus Öztürk said, “October draws attention as breast cancer awareness month. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. One out of every 8-9 women is exposed to breast cancer at some point in her life. It is not possible to prevent cancer, but the important thing in breast cancer is early diagnosis. The important thing in early diagnosis is that every woman learns to examine her own breast after the age of 20. Especially after the age of 40, she should be examined by a specialist once a year. When breast cancer is diagnosed early, it is completely curable. In our hospital, breast surgery treatments can be performed in the general surgery department. Breast conserving surgery is especially preferred. In early cases, breast-conserving surgery is preferred, and in advanced cases, chemotherapy-redyotherapy and, if necessary, surgical treatment is used.”

“Breast conserving surgery does not cause any aesthetic problems”

Stating that breast conserving surgery performed in the early stage of cancer diagnosis does not cause any aesthetic problems in the breast, Opr. Dr. Yunus Öztürk said, “Breast conserving surgery is a surgical intervention performed by removing a part of the breast, 1 in 3, 1 in 4, without removing the entire breast, especially in early breast tumors, and does not cause any aesthetic problems in the patient.”
