Track: Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction is a vital component of breast cancer recovery, focused on restoring the breast's shape and appearance after mastectomy or lumpectomy. This procedure can be performed using implants or autologous tissue, where tissue is taken from the patient’s own body. The session will cover the two main types of reconstruction: immediate reconstruction, which is done concurrently with the mastectomy, and delayed reconstruction, which occurs after the initial treatment. Attendees will gain insights into how the choice of reconstruction method is influenced by factors such as individual patient preferences, treatment protocols, and overall health. We will explore the goals of breast reconstruction, including enhancing body image and boosting self-esteem, to provide patients with a renewed sense of completeness and confidence post-treatment. This session aims to offer comprehensive knowledge on the latest techniques and approaches in breast reconstruction, equipping healthcare professionals to better support their patients through this transformative phase of their cancer journey.
