Best Breast Cancer Doctors in Thailand

The type of cancer that develops from the breast tissue and involves the mammary glands and other nearby muscles is known as Breast Cancer.

Early symptoms of breast cancer may include - 

• Lump formation
• Thickening of the skin around nipples
• Pain
• Irritation of the skin
• Dimpling of the breast
• In some cases blood or pus discharge

The treatment of breast cancer generally involves surgery along with radiation, chemotherapy, and in some cases hormone therapy as well.

The choice of treatment regime depends upon the type and stage of cancer.

Actual reports may vary from case to case, but carrying the above reports, if you have, would be helpful when meeting the cancer doctor:

• Blood reports
• Biopsies
• Radiology scans (X-rays, CT, MRI, PET scans)
• List of any drugs you’re taking (prescription and over-the-counter)

The best oncologists treat a relapse of cancer in different ways, such as:

• Repeat the first line or initial treatment
• Use a combination of drugs or chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and immunotherapy
• Targeted treatments or immunotherapy
• Surgery to remove new tumours

The different specialists in the Cancer department may include the following:
