Whether you are dealing with a recent breast cancer diagnosis and want a second opinion, or you are exploring treatment options for your breast symptoms, we are here to help.
Early and accurate diagnosis is the key to effective breast cancer treatment. Our multidisciplinary team of specialists at Birmingham Breast Group will ensure that you receive a complete assessment of your condition, so that we can develop a breast care treatment plan to meet your needs.
At your initial consultation, you may have a series of breast cancer diagnostic tests, such as mammograms and ultrasounds, to help provide a clear picture of the extent of your breast cancer. This will help us decide whether a lumpectomy or breast-conserving surgery is the best option for you.
A lumpectomy is one of the most common types of breast cancer surgery. It involves removing the cancerous lump (tumour), in addition to a small amount of healthy breast tissue.
It is also known as breast-conserving surgery because it is less invasive than a mastectomy. For this reason, it is often the best option for patients with early-stage breast cancer.
A lumpectomy allows your breast surgeon to keep as much of the natural breast shape and appearance as possible.
Once the lump is removed through a lumpectomy procedure, you will typically need radiation therapy to help destroy any remaining cancerous cells. This should help to reduce the risk of the cancer coming back.
When you arrive at one of our breast clinics on the day of your breast surgery, you will meet with our surgical team. They will talk you through the procedure, answer any questions you might have and prepare you for surgery.
Before lumpectomy surgery, you will receive anaesthesia so that you will be comfortable throughout.
During the surgery, your consultant oncoplastic breast surgeon will make an incision near the breast cancer. This will enable them to assess the area and reduce damage to any healthy breast tissue.
Your surgeon will remove the cancerous lump and a small margin of healthy tissue. This ensures we remove all cancerous cells. We will x-ray most lumps we remove while you are asleep, so we can ensure enough of the cancerous tissue is removed.
Immediately after your lumpectomy, your surgical team and breast care nurses will monitor you until you come round from surgery. They will also provide you with pain management and post-op advice to ensure you have a smooth recovery process.
After your surgery, you will likely feel some tenderness in the breast area. You may also experience some swelling and bruising, which is normal and will go down as you recover in the following weeks.
Throughout your recovery, you will receive follow-up care from our team. This may include some additional treatments such as radiation therapy. This will help destroy any cancerous cells that remain and reduce the chances of breast cancer returning.
The team at Birmingham Breast Group are only ever a phone call away. So, if you need any support or guidance during your recovery, we are here to provide emotional and physical care.
We believe that every woman should have access to the highest standard of breast care to maintain the health of their breasts. Alongside lumpectomy surgery, our team also offers:
We ensure that every procedure is tailored to your specific needs, so that you get the best outcome. Visit Birmingham Breast Group for a complete list of our services and treatments.

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.
