Overview
At Izmir University of Economics Medical Point Hospital’s Senology (Breast Diseases) Center, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality care in the diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases. Using the most advanced medical technologies and evidence-based practices, our mission is to detect breast conditions at the earliest possible stage and deliver effective, personalized treatment that protects both health and quality of life.
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide. With early detection and the right treatment strategies, it is possible to significantly increase survival rates and maintain a good quality of life. Our center combines advanced diagnostic imaging, innovative treatment options, and a multidisciplinary care approach to ensure that every patient receives the best possible outcome.
Multidisciplinary Approach to Breast Health
Breast diseases often require a team-based medical approach. At our Senology Center, each patient benefits from the expertise of a multidisciplinary team that works closely together to create the most effective treatment plan.
Our medical team includes:
- Breast surgeons – specializing in both traditional and oncoplastic surgery.
- Radiologists – experts in advanced breast imaging and early detection.
- Pathologists – providing precise tissue analysis for accurate diagnosis.
- Medical oncologists – delivering chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and hormonal treatments.
- Radiation oncologists – applying advanced radiotherapy techniques.
- Nuclear medicine specialists – offering PET-CT and other molecular imaging services.
- Plastic surgeons – focusing on breast reconstruction and aesthetic outcomes.
- Medical genetic specialists – assessing hereditary cancer risks.
- Gynecologic oncologists – managing cases with related reproductive health concerns.
Supporting specialists, including psychiatrists, physiotherapists, and dietitians, are also part of the care process. This ensures that patients receive not only medical treatment but also emotional, physical, and nutritional support throughout their journey.
Advanced Diagnostic Technologies
Early diagnosis is the key to successful breast cancer treatment. At Medical Point Hospital’s Senology Center, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic technologies to detect abnormalities even before symptoms appear.
Our diagnostic services include:
- Clinical breast examination – thorough physical assessment by a breast specialist.
- Breast ultrasonography (USG) – high-resolution imaging for detailed tissue evaluation.
- Digital tomosynthesis (3D mammography) – providing layered breast images for more accurate detection.
- AI-enhanced contrast mammography – using artificial intelligence to identify subtle changes.
- Breast MRI – offering high sensitivity for complex cases and dense breast tissue.
These tools help us identify breast cancer at its earliest and most treatable stages, reducing the need for extensive surgery and improving overall treatment success.
Innovative and Personalized Treatment Options
At our Senology Center, every treatment plan is personalized based on the patient’s unique needs. We consider factors such as age, menopausal status, disease stage, tumor biology, genetic predisposition, and personal preferences when designing a care plan.
Our treatment options include:
1. Medical Oncology Treatments
- Chemotherapy – using advanced drug regimens tailored to tumor characteristics.
- Targeted therapy – precision medicines that act directly on cancer cell pathways.
- Immunotherapy – boosting the body’s immune system to fight cancer cells.
- Hormonal therapy (Endocrine therapy) – for hormone receptor-positive cancers.
2. Surgical Treatments
- Breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) – removing only the tumor while preserving breast tissue.
- Mastectomy – complete removal of breast tissue when necessary.
- Oncoplastic breast surgery – combining cancer surgery with reconstructive techniques to achieve both functional and aesthetic results.
3. Radiation Oncology
- Advanced radiotherapy techniques targeting cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
4. Reconstructive Surgery
- Immediate or delayed breast reconstruction to restore body image and confidence.
Oncoplastic Breast Surgery – Preserving Beauty and Function
One of the distinctive strengths of our center is oncoplastic breast surgery. This modern surgical approach allows us to remove cancer effectively while reshaping the breast for an aesthetically pleasing and natural appearance.
By integrating oncology and plastic surgery techniques, we help patients not only survive breast cancer but also maintain a positive body image and self-confidence during recovery.
Patient-Centered and Holistic Care
We believe that treating breast cancer goes beyond removing tumors. Our care model focuses on the whole person, addressing physical health, emotional well-being, and long-term survivorship.
We provide:
- Psychological support to help patients cope with diagnosis and treatment stress.
- Physiotherapy to aid recovery and prevent post-surgical complications.
- Nutritional counseling to strengthen the body during therapy.
- Genetic counseling for patients with a family history of breast cancer.
Commitment to Early Detection
Our team works tirelessly to raise awareness about breast self-exams, regular screening mammography, and timely medical check-ups. Early detection not only increases treatment success but can also mean less invasive procedures and faster recovery.
We recommend:
- Monthly breast self-examinations starting at age 20.
- Annual mammography beginning at age 40, or earlier for high-risk women.
- Prompt evaluation of any breast changes such as lumps, nipple discharge, or skin changes.
