Kaviani Breast Diseases Institute
|
Multidisciplinary
thinking and practicing in the field of breast cancer is crucial, however, it
is relatively neglected in Iran. This clinic is planned to become a
comprehensive breast center in Iran with cooperation of different
physicians and surgeons participating in diagnosis, treatment and
rehabilitation of various breast diseases (e.g. breast surgeons,
oncologists, radiologists, cyto-pathologists, basic scientists and plastic
surgeons).
Oncoplastic
breast surgery is an interdisciplinary sub-specialty and its aim is not only to
treat the cancer effectively, but also to restore or reconstruct the shape of
the diseased breast. These techniques have revolutionized the concept and the
practice of breast surgery, bestowed upon patients a better life and eased
their coping with the disease. This clinic is the first one in our country that
tries to develop the idea and provide the patients with these elite new
procedures.
In
addition to breast cancer, one of the most common complaints of the patients is
their concern about the shape, size and cosmetics of their breasts. In many
cases the problem of large breasts interferes with their normal life and
obliges them to seek a solution. This institute also has special protocols for aesthetic breast surgery
and takes some neglected points of views in this field into account (e.g.
psychological and psychiatric aspects).
