Breast Surgery

At MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper, our breast surgery team cares for you as an individual. We take time to understand your health needs, personal priorities, and treatment goals so your surgical plan reflects what matters most to you.

We offer a range of advanced surgical options focused on both effective cancer treatment and your overall well-being. These include lumpectomies, skin-sparing and nipple-sparing mastectomies, as well as oncoplastic surgery, which combines cancer removal with advanced reconstructive techniques to help preserve a natural appearance when possible.

Throughout the process, you are an active partner in your care. We explain your options clearly and answer your questions so you can make informed decisions with confidence. And we listen to what is important to you because each patient’s needs and goals are unique.

A Multidisciplinary Approach to Breast Cancer Care

Breast cancer is complex disease and often involves more than surgery alone. Your treatment plan may also include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or other treatments—depending on your initial diagnosis, stage of cancer, and post-surgical biopsy results.

That’s why we take a multidisciplinary team approach to care, bringing together cancer experts from different specialties.

In addition to breast surgeons, our breast cancer team includes medical oncologists and radiation oncologists who specialize in breast cancer, pathologists, breast imaging experts, as well as cancer genetics experts, nurse  navigators, and supportive care specialists.

This team meets weekly to review each patient’s case, to develop a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s unique needs, and to ensure every aspect of care is coordinated from your first consultation through recovery.

Supportive Care Services

We offer patients wide range of supportive care services including nutrition counseling, complementary medicine, integrative oncology, survivorship services, behavioral health services, social work services, financial counseling, palliative care, and pastoral care. We also offer patients pre-surgery and post-surgery physical rehabilitation services to build strength before surgery and improve range of motion after surgery, as well as lymphedema prevention and treatment.
