In addition, when a patient is confirmed with cancer, the treatment including surgery is completed within one week of diagnosis.

Endoscopic surgical operation and breast reconstruction for improving quality of life
  • As the survival rates for breast and thyroid cancer are getting high, we make our utmost effort to improve the quality of life after the surgery. For thyroid cancer, the center provides different endoscopic operations such as transaxillary approach and bilateral axillo-breast approach depending on the patient’s condition in order to minimize the scar on the patient’s neck as it can be a problem. For breast cancer, breast reconstruction surgery is immediately performed when total mastectomy is necessary.

Terminology
  • Transaxillary approach: an approach to the thyroid by making a 4cm excision in the armpit area.
