What we treat

Care for the whole spectrum of breast health.

Most women come for reassurance. One check helps them understand their breast health better.

Same-day appointments and a walk-in model, with HOLOGIC 3Dimensions mammography and AI-supported reads.

The most common visits, and most often the reassuring ones. We care for benign and malignant conditions alike from the first appointment.

At the Breast Center of Excellence, we provide the full spectrum of breast cancer care: screening, diagnosis, biopsy, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and post-treatment follow-up. One center, one expert team, and one goal: supporting every patient through treatment and recovery, toward a stronger tomorrow.

BRCA1 and BRCA2 testing, clinical genetic counselling and advanced genomic testing, guiding both prevention and treatment.

From mastectomy and lumpectomy to advanced reconstructive and plastic surgery, our integrated approach ensures continuity of care from diagnosis through reconstruction. Our specialists offer implant-based and autologous reconstruction, nipple-sparing and immediate options, tailored to the patient's needs and goals at every stage of treatment and recovery.

Breast concerns affect men too. We treat male breast cancer as part of our published range of conditions.

Surviving cancer is extraordinary, and patients deserve an extraordinary community to share it with. Through our Survivorship Program, patients stay connected to their care team with regular follow-up appointments while also becoming part of something bigger. Our Survivorship Program is a living, breathing community, hosting survivor circles, wellness events, cooking and nutrition sessions, mindfulness workshops, and social gatherings that remind patients that life after cancer is rich, full, and deeply connected.

Our radiation oncology team is committed to delivering the highest level of expertise, backed by the latest medical scientific evidence and advanced technology. With internationally trained specialists and one of the most advanced radiation oncology facilities in the region, we are dedicated to providing high-quality treatment with the least possible side effects.

Advanced imaging and targeted nuclear medicine techniques that help detect, stage, and monitor cancer with greater accuracy, supporting more informed treatment decisions.

Supportive integrative care designed to enhance wellbeing during and after treatment, helping patients manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and support overall recovery.

Specialized psychological and psychiatric support for patients and families navigating the emotional challenges of cancer, helping promote resilience, coping, and mental wellbeing.

Personalized rehabilitation programs focused on restoring strength, mobility, function, and independence throughout the cancer journey and into survivorship.

Personalized nutritional guidance tailored to individual treatment needs, helping patients maintain strength, manage side effects, and support recovery and long-term health.

Compassionate supportive care focused on relieving symptoms, managing discomfort, and improving quality of life for patients and their families at every stage of care.
