Dr. Ahmed El-Tahan, Consultant in Head and Neck Tumor Surgery, Breast Cancer Conservative Surgery, and Consultant in Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring, has extensive experience in treating breast tumors with the latest surgical techniques that ensure both effective treatment and aesthetic preservation.

 Accurate Diagnosis

Early and accurate diagnosis of breast cancer is crucial. Dr. Ahmed El-Tahan relies on advanced imaging techniques such as 3D mammography and ultrasound-guided biopsies to determine the tumor's type and stage.

 Conservative Breast Surgery

When appropriate, Dr. Ahmed El-Tahan performs conservative breast cancer surgery—removing the tumor while preserving as much of the breast tissue as possible, reducing physical and psychological impact on the patient.

 Immediate Breast Reconstruction

In some cases, immediate breast reconstruction is offered after tumor removal. This includes reconstructive options using autologous tissues or silicone implants, providing a natural appearance and reducing the need for future surgeries.

 Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy

To avoid unnecessary complications, Dr. Ahmed El-Tahan uses sentinel lymph node biopsy to assess cancer spread without removing many lymph nodes, thus reducing the risk of lymphedema.

 Post-Surgical Follow-Up and Support

After surgery, Dr. Ahmed El-Tahan ensures continuous follow-up with a comprehensive plan including:

• Wound care and cosmetic result monitoring

• Coordination with oncology teams if chemotherapy or radiation is needed

• Psychological support and post-operative rehabilitation

Summary

With Dr. Ahmed El-Tahan’s extensive experience and use of modern techniques, breast cancer surgery becomes more precise, less invasive, and more considerate of a woman’s body and psyche. His approach combines effective cancer treatment with a deep understanding of cosmetic and psychological factors.
