Overview
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Indian women and is highly treatable when detected early. Treatment plans depend on the stage, hormone receptor status (ER, PR, HER2) and the patient's overall health.
At our Raipur clinic, Dr. Ravi Jaiswal offers a complete medical oncology workup — molecular profiling, staging and a personalised plan that may combine chemotherapy, targeted therapy (like trastuzumab), immunotherapy or hormonal therapy.
Symptoms to watch for
- A new lump or thickening in the breast or underarm
- Change in breast size, shape or skin texture
- Nipple discharge, especially if bloody
- Inward-turning nipple or skin dimpling
- Persistent breast pain in one area
How we treat it
- Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (before surgery) to shrink tumours
- Adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery to prevent recurrence
- HER2-targeted therapy for HER2-positive disease
- Hormonal therapy for ER/PR-positive cancers
- Immunotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer
- Supportive care to manage side effects during treatment
