Risk Reducing Mastectomy: A New Breast Surgery Method That Can Prevent Breast Cancer 100%

Sometimes we cannot clearly identify the exact cause of breast cancer. This means there is no guaranteed formula to prevent breast cancer 100%. However, with the new evolution in breast surgery called Risk Reducing Mastectomy, women at risk can rejoice because this method prevents cancer more precisely than any other.

Observable Abnormal Symptoms

Although breast cancer may not cause pain in the early stages, what we can notice ourselves first is when there are abnormalities in the breast, such as a lump, changes in size and shape, wrinkles, dimpling, shrinkage, scaly skin, itching or redness of the nipple that is abnormal, blood or discharge from the nipple, or even swelling of the armpit. These should be suspected as warning signs of breast cancer. It is best to see a doctor as soon as possible.

What is Risk Reducing Mastectomy?

This is the term used for the surgery to remove both breasts, which is used to prevent breast cancer in women who are at high risk. This method removes all breast tissue, and without breasts, cancer cannot develop. After surgery, new breasts can be reconstructed using implants, so women will still have breasts with the same shape, just not the original breast tissue.

Who is the Target Group?

The doctor says “The selection of women at risk for this surgery currently focuses on those with a high level of risk, who must undergo thorough risk assessment by a physician. This includes those found to have breast cancer genes, a family history of breast cancer, or biopsy results showing abnormalities that indicate a potential to develop breast cancer in the future. This surgical method is becoming more well-known and is another option for women at risk of breast cancer.”
Health Tip: Regardless, we should prepare to prevent cancer by regularly observing any abnormalities in our breasts. Especially women aged 35 and above should have mammograms and X-rays with a specialist every year, so that if any abnormalities are found, treatment can be started promptly.
