About the specialist
Andrey Ostapenko, breast surgeon (mammologist), has joined our team since April.
He is one of the researchers in the Swiss Cancer Clinical Research Group, which aims to confirm that individualized surgery - only surgery to remove marked metastatic lymph nodes, as well as combined therapy, provides treatment outcomes and better quality of life that are no worse than or equal to the current standard of surgery .
In the clinic, the doctor consults and performs diagnostic tests:
- Diagnosis of breast diseases - benign and malignant pathology;
- Second opinion on further treatment tactics in case of benign and malignant pathology;
- Consultations on preventive operations in case of pathological #BRCA1 and #BRCA2 gene mutation;
- Biopsies of palpable breast formations;
- Cytological examination of discharge from the nipple;
- Follow-up after breast surgery - dressings, suture removal, seroma/fluid evacuation.
