Breast cancer surgery
Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis is an ordeal. What follows — the examinations, decisions, treatments — can feel difficult to grasp. This page is here to help you understand what to expect, step by step, without unnecessary jargon.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in France — approximately 61,000 new cases per year according to the INCa. The surgical strategy depends on the tumour's size and profile, breast volume, your anatomy, and your life project. The decision is discussed with you, then validated at a multidisciplinary team meeting (MDT).
My goal: to preserve the breast as much as possible — its shape, sensitivity, symbolism — while respecting the oncological radicality required for your cure. This is what's called breast oncoplastic surgery, a discipline I practice daily in Paris 8th and at the Clinique Hartmann.
