Clinical Expertise
Breast Cancer
Comprehensive, evidence-based medical oncology care for early and advanced breast cancer.
Overview
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide and is highly treatable when detected early. Dr. Sirohi specialises in the systemic (medical oncology) management of breast cancer, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and endocrine therapy, integrated within a multidisciplinary team.
What it is
Breast cancer develops when cells in the breast grow abnormally. It includes several subtypes (hormone-receptor positive, HER2-positive, and triple-negative) that guide treatment choices.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis typically involves clinical examination, imaging (mammography, ultrasound, MRI) and a biopsy to confirm the type and receptor status of the cancer.
Treatment Approaches
Treatment is personalised and may combine surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy (e.g. anti-HER2), immunotherapy and endocrine therapy, decided by a multidisciplinary team.
When to Seek Specialist Advice
Seek specialist advice for a new breast lump, changes in breast shape or skin, nipple changes or discharge, or a strong family history of breast/ovarian cancer.
