This week, I had the opportunity to observe several breast cancer surgeries under the guidance of Dr. Newman. Witnessing these procedures firsthand was an eye-opening experience that deepened my understanding of the complexities involved in the surgical management of breast cancer. Dr. Newman thoughtfully walked us through each procedure, explaining the decision-making process and addressing our questions in detail.
One of the most fascinating aspects was the use of tumor localization techniques, such as breast seed localization and needle localization. These methods involve placing a small marker or seed near the tumor, enabling the surgeon to precisely target and remove malignant tissue while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
I also observed a variety of advanced surgical tools that assist in real-time intraoperative decision-making. These tools not only help guide precise excisions but also provide critical feedback, enhancing surgical accuracy and safety.
Overall, this is a profound learning experience for me and I hope to contribute to advancements that further enhance the precision and effectiveness of cancer treatments.
