Axillary surgery is recommended in specific situations, most commonly when breast cancer has been diagnosed and there's a need to assess whether it has spread. Dr. Ananya Deori typically advises a sentinel lymph node biopsy first, a minimally invasive procedure that removes the first few lymph nodes that drain the breast. If cancer cells are found in those nodes, a more extensive axillary lymph node dissection may be necessary. In some cases, axillary surgery may also be performed to remove benign lymph node lumps or manage infections that don’t respond to medical treatment. Dr. Ananya Deori takes a highly personalized approach, recommending surgery only when clearly beneficial and necessary. She ensures each patient understands the reasons for the procedure, expected outcomes, and possible alternatives. Factors like tumor size, cancer type, imaging results, and overall health play a key role in the decision-making process. Her balanced, evidence-based guidance empowers patients to make confident, informed choices about their care.
