Bengaluru, 7th September 2023: Apollo Spectra Hospital, Bengaluru, a leading ambulatory care centre, is pleased to announce the successful execution of a modified radical mastectomy on Mrs. Hemalata, a 49-year-old homemaker, who sought medical attention at the hospital with a concerning complaint of whitish nipple discharge from her right breast. The procedure was skillfully conducted by Dr. Nanda Rajaneesh, General & Laparoscopic Surgeon at Apollo Spectra Hospital, Bangalore, with the primary objective of removing a ductal carcinoma in the right breast.
Mrs Hemalata’s journey with Apollo Spectra Hospital began when she presented with a worrisome discharge from her right nipple. The consulting doctor, Dr. Nanda Rajaneesh, suspected an underlying breast abnormality. Clinical examination revealed a lump in her right breast, exhibiting clinical features indicative of breast cancer. Subsequently, an ultrasound scan and a Trucut Biopsy were performed, confirming the diagnosis as invasive Ductal Carcinoma. Further examination through a PET CT scan confirmed the presence of an active cancer in the axillary lymph nodes.
Given that the cancer was already in the second stage, the doctor conducted a modified radical mastectomy procedure to remove the cancerous growth all around breast region along with the breast wthout causing muscular disfigurement. Following the surgery, Mrs Hemalata underwent a comprehensive treatment plan, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormonal therapy, all meticulously administered by the medical team at Apollo Spectra Hospital, Bangalore.
Commenting on the remarkable success of the surgery, Dr. Nanda Rajaneesh, General & Laparoscopic Surgeon at Apollo Spectra Hospital, Bangalore, stated, “Prevention is always better than cure for breast diseases. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and routine breast cancer screening are crucial. Detecting breast cancer at an early stage provides an opportunity for breast conservation and ensures favourable outcomes.”
The dedicated medical team overseeing Mrs. Hemalata’s care included Dr. Nanda Rajaneesh, Breast Oncology Surgeon, and Dr. Vishwanath, Medical Oncologist. Throughout the entire process, a team of experienced anesthesiologists, duty doctors, and nurses played an instrumental role in ensuring the patient’s treatment progressed smoothly.
Advanced anesthesia drugs, state-of-the-art cautery machines, and cutting-edge OT technology were employed to guarantee the highest standards of care during the procedure. The entire operation, from patient preparation and anaesthesia induction to the successful completion of surgery and post-operative care, was executed seamlessly within a mere 1.5 hours.
