Organ Sparing Radiotherapy Technique (VMAT)
For breast cancer patients who require regional nodal irradiation, this involves including additional lymph node drainage areas in the radiation field such as the supra-clavicular region, the internal mammary nodal region and the axillary region.
Using conventional radiotherapy to treat all these areas results in a much greater amount of normal tissue (heart and lungs) being irradiated. This is because conventional radiotherapy is unable to conform tightly to these areas and more adjacent normal tissues are within the radiation field.

Physical Examination
During a physical examination, our female oncologist will check for presence of lumps or any abnormalities. It will also involve a discussion of your medical history. This will enable the detection of any potential health issues and allow for timely intervention and personalized healthcare.
Ultrasound
Breast ultrasound utilizes sound waves to create real-time images of internal structures. It is a non-invasive, painless procedure often used alongside mammography for additional insights into breast health. This dynamic imaging helps assess abnormalities, distinguish between solid masses and cysts, and provides valuable information when mammographic results are inconclusive.
