Breast Cancer Care
A breast cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, and navigating treatment decisions is often one of the most challenging experiences a patient may face. At every stage of care, our focus is to provide clear guidance, personalised treatment planning, and compassionate multidisciplinary support tailored to each individual patient.
A/Prof Farid Meybodi provides comprehensive breast cancer care with expertise in modern breast surgery, oncoplastic techniques, breast reconstruction, and coordinated multidisciplinary management. Treatment planning is carefully individualised with consideration of cancer safety, breast aesthetics, long-term wellbeing, and quality of life.
Our Breast Cancer Care services encompass the full spectrum of diagnosis, surgery, reconstruction, systemic therapies, survivorship, and ongoing breast health support.
Personalised Breast Cancer Treatment
No two breast cancers are the same. Treatment recommendations depend on multiple factors including:
- tumour type and stage
- im aging and pathology findings
- breast anatomy and tumour location
- genetic and family history factors
- patient preferences and long-term goals
Every patient receives an individualised treatment pathway developed in collaboration with a multidisciplinary breast cancer team.
Modern Breast Cancer Surgery
Surgery remains an important part of treatment for many breast cancers. Depending on the diagnosis and individual circumstances, surgical options may include:
- breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy)
- mastectomy procedures
- nipple-sparing and skin-sparing mastectomy
- oncoplastic breast surgery
- lymph node and axillary surgery
- breast reconstruction and revision reconstruction
Our approach aims to achieve effective cancer treatment while also carefully considering breast shape, symmetry, recovery, and long-term reconstructive outcomes.
Breast Reconstruction & Restorative Surgery
Breast reconstruction is a highly personal decision and may be performed immediately at the time of cancer surgery or delayed until after treatment is completed.
Reconstructive options may include:
- implant-based reconstruction
- autologous (tissue-based) reconstruction
- fat grafting and revision procedures
- symmetrisation surgery
- reconstruction following previous breast cancer treatment
Treatment planning focuses on achieving safe, natural, and individualised outcomes aligned with each patient’s goals and preferences.
Multidisciplinary Breast Cancer Care
Comprehensive breast cancer treatment often involves collaboration between multiple specialists including:
- breast surgeons
- breast radiologists
- medical oncologists
- radiation oncologists
- reconstructive surgeons
- breast care nurses
- physiotherapists and lymphoedema specialists
This coordinated multidisciplinary approach helps ensure patients receive evidence-based care and ongoing support throughout treatment and recovery.
Beyond Cancer Treatment
Breast cancer care extends beyond surgery and medical treatment alone. Long-term recovery may involve:
- survivorship care
- rehabilitation and physiotherapy
- lymphoedema management
- wellness and lifestyle support
- ongoing surveillance and follow-up
- revision reconstruction when needed
Our goal is to support patients not only through treatment, but throughout recovery, survivorship, and long-term breast health.
Compassionate, Patient-Centred Care
A/Prof Farid Meybodi understands that every patient’s breast cancer journey is unique. We are committed to providing thoughtful guidance, clear communication, and compassionate care in a supportive environment where patients feel informed, respected, and supported throughout every stage of their treatment journey.
