Breast Cancer Surgery Coventry

What is breast cancer?

Breast cancer develops when abnormal cells in the breast tissue begin to grow uncontrollably. 

It often develops in the milk ducts or the milk-producing glands.

Important breast cancer symptoms include a lump in the breast, a thickening or puckering of the breast skin, an increase in the size of one breast, or a sudden inversion of the nipple.

Several factors, including family history, lifestyle, and childbearing history, put some women at higher risk of developing breast cancer.

The importance of regular breast screening

It is essential to detect breast cancer as early as possible to ensure the best medical outcomes. 

We encourage our patients to check their breasts and to take part in the national breast screening programme offered to all women over 50, and to consult us or their GP if they have any unusual changes in their breasts.

We are always here to advise Coventry patients concerned about breast lumps.

What does breast cancer surgery involve?

Surgery after a breast cancer diagnosis will vary depending on the stage and type of cancer discovered. Surgical procedures can also be part of the diagnostic process.

Commonly performed procedures include:

Lumpectomy

Breast surgery is often performed to remove a lump and the surrounding tissue for analysis. Lymph nodes under the arm may also be removed.

Examination of the tissue will enable the breast cancer specialist to design the best treatment plan.

Oncoplastic surgery for breast cancer

An oncoplastic surgery procedure combines tumour removal with breast reshaping. It may involve the removal of excess breast tissue in a procedure similar to a breast reduction. A similar procedure is carried out on the other breast to ensure symmetry.

Mastectomy

Mastectomy is the removal of all breast tissue from one or both breasts. Several techniques can be used.

Aesthetic breast surgery procedures like skin-sparing mastectomy and nipple sparing mastectomy are used to preserve the appearance of the breast as much as possible.

Your consultant oncoplastic breast surgeon will advise you whether an aesthetic breast surgery procedure is appropriate for you.

Breast reconstruction surgery near Coventry

Many women choose to have breast reconstruction after a mastectomy, and our highly skilled surgical team uses the latest plastic surgery techniques to provide excellent results.

We are here to offer advice and discuss your treatment options, so why not book an appointment with a member of our friendly team?

Mr Henderson was kind and understanding and I felt completely at ease with him. He was well informed of my condition and explained his treatment plan to me fully. He has been very attentive in answering emails from me and I really cannot recommend him highly enough. I feel very fortunate to have been in his care.

I have been a patient of Dr Basu since being diagnosed with Breast Cancer a few months ago. Despite the curse of my diagnosis I couldn’t have asked for a better Dr and standard of care. He and his team are super-efficient, have gone out of their way to get fast effective treatment for me and he has super-human levels of patience. During every consultation he has been ever patient, carefully listened to all my questions and concerns then taken the time to explain everything to me and provided constant reassurance. He has been accessible at all times even over weekends and the support has been broad. He looks after you as if you are family and despite having a 90 minute journey to see him at times as we wanted the fastest appointment we couldn’t ask for anything more. Our family see him as an angel not just a doctor for what he has done for us and would recommend him in less than a blink of a eye.

Written by a patient at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, 30th September 2019

I first met Naren Basu in 2016 at the Queen Elizabeth Women’s Hospital. I had been diagnosed with breast cancer. He is an exceptionally skilled man at putting people at their ease and explaining everything with great patience and candour. He is a consummate professional and really knows his stuff, especially relating to breast cancer. He is very clever, witty, and a super surgeon. He carried out a reduction to both my breasts, removing the tumours at the same time. I was fortunate indeed to have my surgery via the NHS, it would have been very expensive as a private patient but worth every penny. I felt like a million dollars after my operation. I think he is a fabulous man and so skilled on so many levels and outstanding in human kindness.

Nine days before I was due to go on an extended holiday I discovered problems in both breasts. I was lucky enough to get an appointment 3 days before travel. Mr Basu even called me on the day of the appointment to ask me to come in earlier to ensure they had time to undergo all of the tests that evening. Anyone who has had these problems will know how overwhelming it is but Mr Basu took his time to speak to me and explained all of the procedures/tests that would be carried out that evening and possible outcomes. I did have a small procedure and again everything was explained fully and felt quite safe in his hands. The follow up appointments were just as thorough and Mr Basu made sure I understood all that we discussed. If I ever found myself in this position again Mr Basu would be my first port of call.

I am currently under the care of Dr Daniel Henderson at Good Hope Hospital, and I couldn’t ask for better. He listens, and speaks to you in laymans terms so you understand what is going on now and in the future. He talks to you and not at you, and has a very calm and soothing manner. If you are lucky enough to be referred to him, rest assured that you are in good hands, as he gets things actioned quickly.
