Surgical Options
If surgery is recommended to remove a benign or cancerous tumor, our goal is to conserve breast tissue and skin for satisfactory reconstruction. Penn State Hershey breast surgeons are skilled in the latest minimally invasive techniques, including sentinel node biopsies, cryoablation, and skin sparing mastectomies. If reconstruction following a mastectomy is desired, we work closely with plastic surgeons who specialize in breast reconstruction. The most contemporary techniques yield the best cosmetic results without compromising care. In most cases, reconstruction can occur at the same time as surgery.
Penn State Hershey Breast Center provides breast health support, education, and coordination of services for women of all ages and their families. What makes the multidisciplinary center unique is its ability to provide advanced testing and treatment for benign and malignant breast disease Penn State Hershey Breast Center was granted accreditation by the National Accreditation of Programs for Breast Centers, and is a designated American College of Radiology (ACR) Breast Imaging Center of Excellence, based on its outstanding personnel and advanced equipment.
