Receive compassionate, evidence-based breast cancer care from experienced surgical, medical and radiation oncologists. At Precision Oncology Clinic, every treatment plan is personalised using international clinical guidelines and a multidisciplinary approach.
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide, although men can also develop the disease. Early diagnosis and personalised treatment significantly improve outcomes.
At Precision Oncology Clinic, our multidisciplinary team of surgical, medical, and radiation oncologists develops individualised treatment plans based on tumour biology, stage, receptor status (ER, PR, HER2), and the patient's overall health.
Breast cancer symptoms vary from person to person, and some patients may not experience any noticeable signs in the early stages. Regular breast self-examination, routine screening, and timely consultation with a breast cancer specialist can help detect the disease early, when treatment is most effective.
Common symptoms of breast cancer include:
Breast cancer develops due to a combination of genetic, hormonal, lifestyle, and environmental factors. While some risk factors cannot be changed, adopting a healthy lifestyle and attending regular screening can help reduce risk and support early detection.
The risk of breast cancer increases with age, particularly after 50 years.
A family history of breast or ovarian cancer may increase the likelihood of developing breast cancer.
Mutations in genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 significantly increase breast cancer risk.
Early menstruation, late menopause, or prolonged hormone replacement therapy may contribute to increased risk.
Excess body weight, especially after menopause, is associated with a higher risk of breast cancer.
Regular alcohol intake has been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer.
A sedentary lifestyle may contribute to increased breast cancer risk.
Radiation therapy to the chest during childhood or early adulthood can increase lifetime risk.
Breast cancer is not a single disease. Different types of breast cancer behave differently and require personalised treatment plans. At Precision Oncology Clinic, our specialists determine the exact type of breast cancer through clinical evaluation, imaging, biopsy, and pathology reports before recommending the most appropriate treatment.
The most common type of breast cancer, accounting for nearly 70–80% of cases. IDC begins in the milk ducts and spreads into surrounding breast tissue.
This cancer starts in the milk-producing lobules and may be more difficult to detect on routine mammograms due to its growth pattern.
A non-invasive or early-stage breast cancer confined to the milk ducts. Early diagnosis and treatment offer an excellent prognosis.
Although not considered cancer, LCIS indicates an increased future risk of developing invasive breast cancer and requires careful monitoring.
A more aggressive subtype that lacks estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptors. Treatment often includes chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
This subtype overexpresses the HER2 protein. Modern targeted therapies have significantly improved treatment outcomes for eligible patients.
Breast cancer staging describes the extent of the disease and helps determine the most effective treatment strategy. Staging is based on tumour size, lymph node involvement, and whether the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
Cancer cells are confined to the milk ducts (DCIS) and have not spread to nearby tissue.
Early-stage invasive breast cancer with a small tumour and little or no lymph node involvement.
The tumour may be larger or involve nearby lymph nodes but has not spread to distant organs.
Locally advanced breast cancer involving multiple lymph nodes or surrounding structures, often requiring combined treatment approaches.
Metastatic breast cancer where the disease has spread to distant organs such as bones, lungs, liver, or brain. Modern therapies aim to control the disease, relieve symptoms, and maintain quality of life.
Early and accurate diagnosis is essential for successful breast cancer treatment. At Precision Oncology Clinic, our multidisciplinary team uses advanced diagnostic techniques to confirm the diagnosis, identify the cancer subtype, and determine the stage before creating a personalised treatment plan.
A detailed physical examination performed by an experienced breast cancer specialist to evaluate any breast changes or lumps.
A low-dose X-ray of the breast used to detect early breast cancer, often before symptoms develop.
Helps distinguish between fluid-filled cysts and solid breast lumps and provides additional information alongside mammography.
Recommended in selected patients to assess tumour size, evaluate dense breast tissue, or identify additional areas of concern.
A minimally invasive procedure used to obtain tissue samples for microscopic examination and confirmation of the diagnosis.
The biopsy sample is analysed for hormone receptors (ER and PR), HER2 status, tumour grade, and other biomarkers that guide treatment decisions.
May be recommended in selected cases to evaluate whether the cancer has spread beyond the breast and nearby lymph nodes.
Patients with a strong family history or early-onset breast cancer may benefit from genetic testing for inherited mutations such as BRCA1 and BRCA2.
Breast cancer treatment is personalised for every patient. Our multidisciplinary team carefully reviews the type of breast cancer, tumour size, stage, hormone receptor status (ER/PR), HER2 status, overall health, and the patient’s preferences before recommending a treatment plan.
At Precision Oncology Clinic, surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists work together to provide coordinated cancer care using evidence-based treatment protocols and modern technology.
Surgery is often the primary treatment for early-stage breast cancer. The objective is to remove the cancer while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible whenever appropriate.
Chemotherapy uses medicines to destroy cancer cells or reduce the risk of recurrence. It may be recommended before surgery (neoadjuvant), after surgery (adjuvant), or for advanced breast cancer.
Targeted therapy acts on specific proteins that help cancer grow. HER2-positive breast cancer may respond well to HER2-targeted medicines prescribed by a medical oncologist.
Hormone (endocrine) therapy is recommended for hormone receptor-positive breast cancers to reduce the risk of recurrence by blocking or lowering hormone levels.
Radiation therapy uses precisely targeted high-energy radiation to destroy remaining cancer cells after surgery or relieve symptoms in selected advanced cases.
Some patients with specific breast cancer subtypes, including selected triple-negative breast cancers, may benefit from immunotherapy. Treatment eligibility is determined after careful clinical evaluation.
Effective breast cancer treatment often requires collaboration between multiple specialists. At Precision Oncology Clinic, every patient benefits from a multidisciplinary approach where experts discuss each case before recommending treatment.
This collaborative approach helps ensure that each treatment recommendation is tailored to the patient's diagnosis and overall needs.

A breast lump, nipple discharge, breast skin changes, nipple inversion, or swelling under the arm are among the common early symptoms. Any persistent change should be evaluated by a qualified doctor.
No. Many breast lumps are benign. However, every new breast lump should be examined by a healthcare professional.
Many people diagnosed at an early stage can be treated successfully. Outcomes depend on the cancer type, stage, biology, and response to treatment.
Breast cancer care usually involves a multidisciplinary team including surgical, medical and radiation oncologists.
Not always. Treatment recommendations vary depending on the type and stage of breast cancer and each patient's individual circumstances.
HER2-positive breast cancer overexpresses the HER2 protein and may be treated with HER2-targeted therapies when clinically appropriate.
Triple-negative breast cancer lacks ER, PR and HER2 receptors and may require chemotherapy or immunotherapy depending on clinical evaluation.
Yes. Although uncommon, men can develop breast cancer and should seek medical advice if they notice breast changes.
Screening recommendations depend on age, family history and individual risk factors. Your doctor can advise the most appropriate schedule.
