Breast Cancer Treatment in Mumbai – Expert Care with Dr. Sanket Shah

Personalized Breast Cancer Care You Can Trust
Breast cancer can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to go through it alone.
With more awareness and early detection, breast cancer is treatable in a large number of cases.
The key is getting the right guidance from a cancer specialist who understands both the medical and emotional side of the journey.
Dr. Sanket Shah, a leading surgical oncologist in Mumbai has treated hundreds of breast cancer patients. His approach is simple and reassuring.
Clear communication. Evidence-based treatment. Support at every step.
Understanding Breast Cancer
Breast cancer begins when cells in the breast start growing abnormally. Over time, these cells may form a lump, spread to nearby tissues, or move to other parts of the body.
But here is the important part.
When detected early, breast cancer is one of the most successfully treated cancers.
Key symptoms you should pay attention to :
  • A lump or thickening in the breast or underarm
  • A change in breast size, shape, or contour
  • Nipple discharge that is clear, bloody, or unusual
  • Skin dimpling, redness, or scaling
  • A nipple that suddenly becomes inverted
  • Persistent breast pain that feels different from monthly cycles
Early symptoms are often painless. That is why regular breast exams and cancer awareness are so important.
Who Is at Higher Risk
While breast cancer can occur in anyone, certain factors increase the risk.
You should consider regular screening if any of these apply to you.
  • Age above 40
  • Family history of breast or ovarian cancer
  • Previous breast lumps or benign breast disease
  • History of hormonal imbalance or long-term hormone therapy
  • Early menstruation or late menopause
  • Lifestyle factors like obesity, smoking, lack of exercise
Genetic factors such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations can also increase the risk. If you have a strong family history, genetic counseling may be recommended.
To understand related women’s cancers, you can also read about Ovarian Cancer and Endometrial Cancer, which sometimes share similar hereditary risks.
How Dr. Sanket Shah Approaches Breast Cancer Treatment
Breast cancer treatment is not just about removing a tumor. It is about understanding the person, the stage of the disease, the biology of the tumor, and the patient’s fears, hopes, and expectations.
Dr. Sanket Shah takes a slow, careful, and structured approach so every woman receives the treatment that is right for her body and her life.
Below is a clear picture of how he manages breast cancer from the very first visit to long-term recovery.
1) Accurate and Thoughtful Diagnosis
Every treatment plan begins with a correct diagnosis.
Dr. Sanket Shah spends time reviewing your symptoms, breast examination findings, imaging reports, and biopsy results.
If tests are incomplete, he will suggest the right evaluations which may include:
  • Mammography
  • Ultrasound
  • MRI of the breast
  • Core needle biopsy
  • Hormone receptor testing
  • HER2 testing
Understanding the exact type of breast cancer is extremely important because each subtype behaves differently. For example:
  • Hormone receptor positive cancers respond well to hormonal therapies
  • HER2 positive cancers may need targeted therapy
  • Triple negative breast cancers require a different, more aggressive approach
A proper diagnosis helps avoid unnecessary treatments and ensures that you receive only what truly benefits you.
2) Creating Right Treatment Plan That Fits You
Every patient is unique, and so is their breast cancer.
After understanding your reports and completing the examination, Dr. Sanket Shah designs a plan that takes into account:
  • The stage of cancer
  • The size and location of the tumor
  • Whether lymph nodes are involved
  • Your age and general health
  • Your personal preferences
  • Cosmetic considerations
Your treatment plan may include one or more of the following:
  • Breast conserving surgery
  • Modified radical mastectomy
  • Oncoplastic breast surgery
  • Sentinel lymph node biopsy
  • Axillary lymph node dissection
Dr. Sanket Shah also works closely with medical oncologists and radiation oncologists to ensure you receive coordinated and well-rounded care. You are never left to figure things out on your own.
3) Using Advanced Surgical Techniques for Best Outcomes
Surgery is often the central part of breast cancer treatment.
Dr. Sanket Shah focuses on removing the cancer safely while preserving as much healthy breast tissue as possible. This helps maintain the natural shape of the breast and improves quality of life after treatment.
He is experienced in:
  • Breast conserving surgery with cosmetic reshaping
  • Oncoplastic surgery that blends cancer removal with plastic surgery techniques
  • Sentinel lymph node mapping, a technique that checks the first lymph node the cancer may spread to
  • Avoiding unnecessary lymph node removal to reduce the risk of swelling in the arm
The goal is to achieve clear margins, protect vital structures, and support your physical recovery as well as your confidence.
4) Clear, Honest, and Patient-Friendly Communication
A cancer diagnosis can feel frightening.
Dr. Sanket Shah makes sure you never feel confused, rushed, or overwhelmed. During your consultation, you receive
  • Simple explanations of what your reports mean
  • An outline of your treatment options
  • Answers to every question you may have
  • Realistic expectations about recovery
  • Guidance for how your life will look after treatment
Patients often say that his patient, calm manner helps them feel more in control during a very stressful time.
5) Long-Term Follow-Up and Ongoing Support
Treatment does not end when surgery is completed. Breast cancer needs long-term follow-up to monitor your recovery, check for recurrence, and support your overall health.
Follow-up includes:
  • Regular clinical examinations
  • Imaging when needed
  • Monitoring treatment side effects
  • Lifestyle and nutrition guidance
  • Rehabilitation and arm exercises
  • Emotional and mental support
Dr. Sanket Shah stays connected with his patients long after the treatment is done. His focus is on helping you return to a normal, healthy life with confidence and peace of mind.
