Cancer Care & Second Opinion
Breast cancer care in Korea: start with the diagnosis, not the hospital
Breast cancer treatment is a sequence of decisions based on pathology, imaging, biomarkers, disease extent, patient health, systemic therapy, radiotherapy, and patient preference. A famous hospital or advanced surgical technology does not by itself determine the right treatment.
Where are you in the process?
- abnormal breast imaging, no confirmed diagnosis
- biopsy-confirmed breast cancer
- deciding between breast-conserving surgery and mastectomy
- considering reconstruction
- seeking a second opinion
- already treated and considering further care
Core questions
- Has the diagnosis been confirmed by pathology?
- Do the imaging and pathology findings agree?
- Are ER, PR, HER2 and other required biomarkers available?
- Could systemic therapy be needed before surgery?
- Is breast-conserving surgery oncologically feasible?
- Is mastectomy necessary?
- Is radiotherapy likely?
- Should reconstruction be immediate, delayed, or not performed?
- Who will continue oncology care after returning home?
