Muscat: Aster Royal Hospital Ghubra Muscat is proud to announce the success of a breast conservative surgery performed on a patient with early left breast cancer. The procedure was carried out by the  breast cancer surgery team led by Dr. Salim Al Rahbi, Consultant & Dr. Abha Singhvi, Specialist, and the  interventional radiology team of Dr. Rashid Al Sukaiti & Dr. Mahmood Al Hajiry at the hospital’s state of-the-art facility. 

The patient, a 49-year-old woman who was under follow-up for benign breast lumps, underwent a breast ultrasound which showed a new left breast lesion that was 1 cm in size and clinically not palpable. The lesion was confirmed to be invasive ductal carcinoma after undergoing a US-guided biopsy. The patient underwent staging which showed no distal metastasis. 

To treat cancer, the patient underwent a wire localization procedure to localize the small impalpable breast cancer lesion detected by screening. This is a service that is available at Aster Royal  Hospital. The patient was sent to a breast or intervention radiologist just before the surgery to insert the wire into the lesion. She was then shifted to the operation theatre to excise the lesion with a safety margin by breast surgeons. 

The procedure was successful, and the patient was discharged on the same day of surgery. The patient expressed satisfaction with the procedure, and the doctors involved provided excellent care. 

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females in Oman and worldwide. At Aster Royal Hospital,  we have all the facilities and expertise to diagnose and treat breast cancer. We encourage female patients to start breast screening at the age of 40 to detect breast cancer early, which has a great impact on treatment and prognosis. In addition to breast screening at the age of 40, mammograms are an essential tool for the early detection of breast cancer. 

Regular mammograms can detect breast cancer before a lump can be felt, and they can also find small lumps that may not yet be cancerous. Mammograms are a vital tool in the early detection of breast cancer, and they can help save lives. Aster Royal Hospital Ghubra Muscat is committed to making mammography services accessible to all women in the community. Our hospital provides mammography services at affordable rates, and we work with insurance companies to make sure that our patients can access the care they need. 

Our hospital has state-of-the-art mammography equipment and a team of skilled radiologists who specialize in breast imaging. We continue to invest in advanced technology and research to improve breast cancer treatment and care. If you are above the age of 40 and are due for a mammogram, we encourage you to schedule an appointment at Aster Royal Hospital in Ghubra, Muscat. Our team of experienced and compassionate professionals is here to provide you with the highest level of care and support. 

Aster Royal Hospital Ghubra Muscat remains committed to providing the highest level of care to patients with breast cancer. The hospital’s dedicated team of doctors, nurses, and staff work tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients.
