Our state-of-the-art private clinics are leading providers of comprehensive breast cancer diagnosis and treatment for Dudley and the West Midlands.
We offer breast screening, mammograms, diagnostic tests and biopsies as well as breast lump removal and treatment therapies, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
If scans have indicated that you have a solid lump in your breast that is cancerous, or you are concerned about unusual changes in your breast, you can contact us directly for an initial consultation with a breast cancer consultant.

Our breast surgeons are part of a multidisciplinary team of medical professionals who offer diagnostic and therapeutic treatments to support you through your cancer journey.
Our surgical team has an enviable reputation for their work, and this is matched by the high level of clinical excellence and patient care across all disciplines.
Compassionate care is at the heart of our core values. The well-being of our patients and their loved ones is our priority, and you will be supported at all times by your surgeon and our team of specialist breast care nurses.
You can find out more about the Birmingham Breast Group team here.
Prior to your surgery, you may have a mammogram appointment so that your doctors can find out more about the size and location of your breast tumour.
On the day of your surgery, the location of your lump will be marked on your breast as a guide for your surgeon. The procedure involves a general anaesthetic to ensure that you remain comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
The breast surgeon will make a wide local excision above the location of the breast lump. The lump will be removed along with a margin of healthy tissue for further tests to confirm your cancer diagnosis.
A sentinel node biopsy may be performed at the same time to check for cancer cells in the armpit.
Once the procedure is completed, the treatment area will be flushed with local anaesthetic to ensure you have sufficient pain relief when you wake up. The surgical incision will be closed with dissolvable stitches, and a dressing will be applied.
You can read more about the procedure here.
When you wake up, you will be in the recovery room being cared for by our dedicated breast cancer surgery nurses.
Your breast will be swollen, bruised and tender after your operation. You will receive pain relief and expert care to minimise your discomfort until you are ready to go home.
You may be a day case, going home a few hours after your procedure, but most patients stay with us overnight and are carefully monitored to ensure a smooth recovery.
You will return to the clinic a week after your lumpectomy so that we can check that your wound is healing well.
We advise patients to rest for a week or so, as this will help their bodies to heal and reduce the risks of complications.
You can expect to feel well enough to return to your normal activities, including a sedentary job, after a week or two.
Your surgeon will advise you when you are ready to resume strenuous exercise.
A lumpectomy may be an option if you have early-stage breast cancer and the cancer cells have not spread elsewhere in the breast.
If your cancer is more advanced, a mastectomy, complete removal of the breast, may be a better therapeutic option for you.
If your breast lump is cancerous, then you will probably need to have additional treatments such as a course of radiotherapy to ensure that no cancer cells remain in the breast tissue, reducing the risk of the cancer returning.
The primary aim of breast lump removal is to remove a cancerous tumour, preventing the spread of breast cancer. However, your surgeon will use the latest techniques to preserve the natural shape of your breast as much as possible.
Factors such as the size and location of your tumour will affect the appearance of your breast after your lumpectomy.
No. Non-cancerous breast lumps can also be symptoms of benign breast conditions. In the case of a troublesome cyst, for example, a lumpectomy may be performed.
We offer a range of breast care services for women in the Dudley area.
You can find our full range of breast surgery procedures here.

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.

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.
