Bumrungrad International Hospital

The Breast center specializes in helping women with breast disease. It’s more than just breast cancer; the Clinic assists women in the treatment and management of non-cancerous tumors and lumps, breast pain, fibrocystic disease, and other disorders.

Overview

The Breast center examines palpable abnormalities – those that can be felt by hand – and uses sophisticated imaging technology to detect problems that cannot be seen or felt. The Center uses a variety of methods to diagnose possible breast problems. We offers a full range of treatment, including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Specialists with the Horizon Regional Cancer work closely with patients to develop a personalized course of treatment.

Breast cancer

Worldwide, breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women and the second highest in terms of mortality rates. Men can also develop breast cancer, although incidences are rare. About 90% of all breast cancer cases start in the tissue of the milk ducts or in the lobules that supply milk to the ducts. It is possible to diagnose breast cancer at an early stage. The early detection of cancer greatly increases the chances of successful treatment.

Symptoms of breast cancer

In some cases, women with breast cancer may have no symptoms, while some abnormalities they experience may not be cancerous. However, it is important to seek medical attention when the following symptoms appear:
Lump or thickening in the breast or armpit
Nipple becoming dimpled, discharge from the nipple, or an ulcer on the nipple
Red rash on the breast, with the appearance of orange peel
Breast pain

Treatment of breast cancer

Treatment of breast cancer requires a multidisciplinary team of physicians such as surgeons, radiologists and cancer specialists, who together will make the most suitable treatment plan for each individual patient. The doctors will make their decision based on the following factors:

Size, location and characteristics of the cancer cells
Stage and spread of the disease
Age and health of patient
Hormone receptors
Pre- or post-menopause
Factors indicating disease severity, such as the HER2 gene

Breast cancer screening for women at high risk

Breast cancer can be a silent threat. Breast cancer screening is of importance for all women, but even more so for those at higher than average risk. If you are at higher risk of developing breast cancer, you may need to undergo earlier and more frequent screening than other women. In addition to clinical screening and imaging, genetic testing gives women at high risk the chance to learn if their breast cancer or family history of breast cancer is due to an inherited gene mutation, providing powerful information to guide your health care.
