Description
Breast cancer is a malignant growth emerging from breast tissue—commonly developing in the ducts (ductal carcinoma) or lobules (lobular carcinoma). Symptoms may include a persistent breast lump, changes in shape or size, skin dimpling, nipple discharge, or inversion. Diagnosis generally involves clinical examination, imaging (mammography, ultrasound, MRI), and biopsy; treatment is personalized based on tumor type, stage, and molecular profile (e.g., hormone receptor or HER2 status).
Treatment options span surgical intervention (lumpectomy, mastectomy, lymph node evaluation), radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted agents (like trastuzumab for HER2-positive cancers), and immunotherapy (particularly for triple-negative subtypes). Early detection significantly improves prognosis, with 5-year survival rates exceeding 90% for localized disease.
Dr. Ninad Katdare, a surgical oncologist trained at Tata Memorial Hospital, has independently performed over 300 cancer surgeries—including those for breast cancer—and assisted in many more
He further enhanced his expertise with advanced training in Europe, earning an M.Sc. in Advanced Oncology from Universität Ulm, Germany, and fellowships in endoscopic, laparoscopic, robotic, and reconstructive surgical oncology
His multidisciplinary skill set positions him to offer individualized, precision surgical care aimed at both oncologic control and functional outcomes.
