Dr Toma's approach is built on the pillars of accurate diagnosis, clear communication, and personalised treatment planning within a multidisciplinary framework. This ensures that patients are well-informed and involved in their care every step of the way.
Assessment and Diagnosis
If you have noticed a breast lump, a change in breast shape, nipple discharge, or an abnormality on a mammogram or ultrasound, a thorough evaluation is recommended. Dr Toma assists with:
- Clinical examination and assessment of breast symptoms
- Interpretation and explanation of mammographic or ultrasound findings
- Image-guided core needle biopsy or fine-needle aspiration when indicated
- Coordination of further imaging and specialist input where required
Treatment of Benign and Malignant Breast Conditions
Treatment is carefully tailored to each diagnosis. Management options may include:
- Medical and Surgical treatment of benign conditions such as infections, cysts, or fibrocystic change
- Surgical management of breast cancer and precancerous lesions.
- Breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy / wide local excision) where suitable
- Mastectomy and, where appropriate, reconstructive or oncoplastic techniques (Level 1 & 2) in collaboration with reconstructive surgeons. Read More
- Axillary (underarm) surgery , including sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary clearance
Multidisciplinary Care
Patients are managed in close collaboration with radiologists, oncologists, and reconstructive surgeons to ensure all aspects of care — diagnosis, surgery, and adjuvant therapy — are fully integrated.
