Common signs and symptoms may include a new lump or thickening in the breast or underarm, unexplained nipple discharge, changes in breast size or shape, skin dimpling or redness, nipple inversion, or persistent pain. Any unusual change should be evaluated promptly.
How We Diagnose Breast Cancer
Diagnosis begins with a detailed medical history and clinical breast examination. Specialists may recommend imaging tests such as mammography, breast ultrasound, or MRI for detailed evaluation. If abnormalities are detected, a biopsy is performed to confirm the presence and type of cancer. Advanced diagnostic support enables precise staging and personalised breast cancer management at Manipal Hospitals, Delhi.
Treatment Options
Treatment approaches include Surgery, Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, Targeted Therapy, Immunotherapy, and Hormone Therapy. In many cases, a combination of these modalities is used. The team individualises each plan based on cancer type, stage, and the patient’s overall health.

FAQs
-
What are the options for breast cancer treatment in Delhi?
A standard multimodal approach is followed, wherein it begins with a surgery (lumpectomy/breast-conserving or mastectomy with sentinel node biopsy), chemotherapy (neoadjuvant/adjuvant like AC-T), radiation (for early stages post-lumpectomy), hormone therapy (tamoxifen for ER+), targeted therapy (Herceptin for HER2+), and immunotherapy.
-
Is breast reconstruction possible after mastectomy?
Yes, immediately or delayed using implants, tissue flaps (DIEP/LATISSIMUS), or hybrid are performed by oncoplastic surgeons at centres like Manipal Dwarka. These procedures restore symmetry/confidence, with 95% satisfaction and minimal added recovery (4-6 weeks).
-
How effective is chemotherapy for breast cancer?
Chemotherapy is highly effective, significantly reducing the risk of breast cancer recurrence and improving survival rates. For early-stage patients, it can lower the chance of the cancer returning by 30% to 50%. Its effectiveness depends on the cancer’s subtype (like Triple-Negative or HER2-positive) and stage.
It works by killing rapidly dividing cells throughout the body. In advanced cases, chemotherapy acts as a vital tool to shrink tumors, manage symptoms, and extend life. While success varies per individual, it remains a standard of care for preventing spread and treating aggressive or high-risk diagnoses.
-
What is the recovery time after breast cancer surgery?
Recovery from breast cancer surgery typically takes 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the procedure.
-
Lumpectomy: Most people return to light activities within 1 week, with full recovery in 2–3 weeks.
-
Mastectomy: Recovery usually takes 4 to 6 weeks. Patients often go home with surgical drains that remain for 1–2 weeks.
Initial soreness and restricted arm movement are common. While most feel "back to normal" physically within two months, numbness or tingling in the chest and arm can persist longer.
-
-
When is radiation therapy needed, and what are the side effects?
Radiation therapy is used to cure localised cancer, shrink tumours before surgery, or kill remaining cells afterwards. It also provides palliative relief by reducing pain in advanced cases.
Side effects are usually localised to the treatment area:
-
General: Fatigue and skin irritation (redness/peeling) are most common.
-
Area-Specific: Head/neck treatment causes dry mouth; abdominal treatment leads to nausea or diarrhoea; chest radiation may cause shortness of breath.
-
Long-term: Scarring (fibrosis) or fertility issues may occur depending on the site.
Most side effects fade within weeks of finishing treatment.
