The aim of this website is to provide patients with simple and comprehensive information regarding
all aspects of breast cancer and breast surgery. If you have been recently diagnosed with breast cancer
this website will outline the principles of diagnosis and treatment and the journey and difficult choices
you will be making. I hope it provides you with information, reassurance and confidence in making those choices.
If you are considering cosmetic breast reduction or augmentation at the New Victoria Hospital there is a dedicated
section which outlines these procedures in detail. If you have a new lump or are concerned about any aspect of your
breast, we have rapid and comprehensive diagnostic facilities both at Kingston and the New Victoria Hospital. The Sir
William Rous Cancer Unit which opens in 2008 will provide us with some of the best facilities for the assessment of
breast patients in the region.
Oncoplastic breast surgery is a new and rapidly growing field of surgery. Oncoplastic breast surgery has an emphasis on a holistic approach in all
aspects of diagnosis, resection, reconstruction and clinical management of breast cancer.
These require careful planning and a balancing of oncological need with aesthetic aim. Working closely with plastic
surgical colleagues we aim to provide a comprehensive portfolio of breast cancer surgery coupled with reconstructive techniques.
The Breast Clinic offers a full portfolio of breast surgery and breast reconstructive techniques.
