A Breakthrough in Mastectomies

A revolutionary nipple-saving surgery preserves women’s natural skin.

Nearly 200,000 American women will face invasive breast cancer this year, with an estimated 50,000 undergoing a mastectomy (removal of one or both breasts.)  The procedure has come a long way from the radical and disfiguring results of decades past, and an increasing number of women choose it as a preventive measure.  Now a small but growing number of surgeons offer an improved cosmetic approach – a nipple-sparing mastectomey.  Select patients benefit from smaller incisions that make scars less visible and leave the breast’s skin, nipple, and areola intact. 

Paul Baron, MD, a surgical oncologist and breast cancer specialist affiliated with Roper St. Francis Healthcare, is one of the few doctors nationwide performing the procedure.  The American Cancer Society www.cancer.org  and the SusanG. Komen Foundation, www.komen.org, websites are great resources for breast cancer and treatment options.
