Hearing the word “cancer” can feel overwhelming, and it’s okay to feel that way.
At its simplest, cancer begins when some cells in the body stop following the rules. Instead of growing, dividing, and dying in an orderly way, they start multiplying uncontrollably.
In breast cancer, this abnormal growth happens in the cells of the breast. Over time, it may form a lump, cause changes in the breast’s shape or skin, or lead to unusual nipple discharge.
But not every lump or change means cancer; many are harmless. What matters is paying attention, seeking guidance early, and knowing that help is available when you need it.
No matter where you are in your journey – worrying about a symptom, awaiting a diagnosis, or already planning your treatment – you are not alone. With early action and compassionate care, many women and men move forward with strength, healing, and hope.
When you’re facing a breast cancer diagnosis, choosing the right specialist can make all the difference — not just in treatment outcomes, but in how supported, understood, and empowered you feel along the way.
Today, breast cancer treatment has advanced tremendously, offering more choices, better outcomes, and real hope.

Types of Breast Cancer We Help You Fight
Every breast cancer diagnosis is unique.
When you notice a lump, skin change, or other concern, it’s natural to feel anxious.
But understanding exactly what type of breast cancer you have comes only after careful medical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy.
Broadly, breast cancers can be classified on the basis of whether they are invasive or non-invasive.
Invasive breast cancers are most common. They have the potential to spread to the surrounding tissues and organs. Whereas non-invasive breast cancers stay confined to a particular area.
Different types of cancer behave differently, and knowing the specific type helps tailor the best treatment plan for you.
Breast cancer can be classified into different types based on how it behaves.
Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) is the most common type, starting in the milk ducts and spreading to surrounding tissues.
Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC) begins in the milk-producing glands and can be harder to detect.
There are also rare types, such as Papillary Carcinoma, which typically grows slowly, and Paget’s Disease of the Breast, which affects the nipple.
Other rare forms include Angiosarcoma, which develops in blood or lymph vessels, and Phyllodes Tumors, which grow in the connective tissue of the breast.
These are the main types of breast cancer, each varying in their behaviour and treatment needs.
Breast Cancer Treatment in Nagpur: Our Approach
When you hear the word “cancer,” it’s easy to feel like life spins out of control.
But here’s something important to remember: there is no one-size-fits-all treatment for breast cancer, because each person feels it differently.
Today, breast cancer treatment has advanced tremendously, offering more choices, better outcomes, and real hope.
Depending on your unique diagnosis and needs, your care plan may include one or more of the following:
Surgery
Surgery removes the tumour and nearby tissue. This may involve:
- Breast Conservation Surgery Whenever possible, we remove only the cancer with adequate surgical margin, keeping as much of your natural breast as we safely can, so you feel whole after healing.
- Partial Breast Reconstruction If a portion of your breast needs to be removed, we offer reconstruction during the same surgery to restore the natural shape and appearance.
- Oncoplastic Surgery Techniques We blend cancer surgery with cosmetic surgery methods, ensuring that your breast looks and feels as natural as possible after treatment.
- Mastectomy If the cancer is extensive and requires the removal of the entire breast, we still prioritize your cosmetic results. With advanced techniques like nipple-sparing mastectomies and skin-sparing mastectomies, we can remove the breast tissue while preserving the natural shape and size of your breast, helping you feel more comfortable and confident after surgery.
- Axillary Conserving Procedures (Protecting the important lymph nodes in your underarm area)
- Sentinel Node Biopsy: Checking only the first few lymph nodes for cancer involvement using dual dye technique and radiocolloid tracers, minimising unnecessary removal of the lymph nodes, thereby minimising your risk of lymphedemas.
- Targeted Axillary Dissection: Removing only the affected nodes, reducing the risk of arm swelling (lymphedema) and improving recovery.
