Multidisciplinary Care for Organ Preservation

Overview

At Kaizen Oncology Network, we bring together a multidisciplinary and distinguished team of physicians, surgeons, and other care professionals to support you all through every step of our treatment.

Breast conservation and reconstruction

This is a surgical procedure that is done to rebuild the shape of the breast. This procedure is common for women who had undergone surgery for the treatment of breast cancer.

Usually, breast cancer surgeries are performed to remove cancer and leave normal breasts to the most extent possible. But in advanced cancer, the procedure involves removing all of the breast tissue. These cases require breast reconstruction surgery to rebuild the appearance and shape of the breast.

Sphincter preservation in rectal cancer

Sphincter preservation surgeries are the recommended treatment option for low rectal cancer which is traditionally treated with abdominoperineal resection (surgery in which the anus, rectum, and sigmoid colon are removed).

A sphincter preservation surgery involves complete resection of the tumor by preserving the continuity of the bowel and functioning of the anal sphincter.

Sphincter preservation surgery is an acceptable alternative to abdominoperineal resection for low rectal cancer, offering a better quality of life and sexual-urinary functions, with no increased oncological risk even after 3 years

Bladder preservation

Bladder preservation is not only very safe but also effective for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Surgical removal of a part or complete urinary bladder requires urinary diversions and substantially weakens the patient’s quality of life. This procedure is a way of treatment for cancer without affecting the bladder’s function or form. This approach is usually a combination of three different treatments.

• Radiation therapy
• Chemotherapy
• Complete TURBT

Limb salvage/preservation surgeries

Patients living with cancer, peripheral vascular disease, diabetes, or a non-healing wound on the leg, are at a high risk of limb amputation. Latest advances in limb-sparing surgery have enabled physicians to help you to keep your limb. The procedure is performed to either remove limb tumors or to manage the wound without removing the whole limb. At Kaizen Oncology Network, we focus to preserve your limb(s) while offering you a lifestyle of independence and mobility.
