Who is the best breast cancer surgeon in the world?

I didn't see if this was written but The Cancer Center Treatment of America is all they do is cancer. I would think that would be great.  But I did notice what Joy said and an oncoligis might want to shrink the tumor before surgery, which they normall do when it is large make the surgery (I'm sure) easier on the patient. I sounds lile her support group is marvelous and the surgery is really the least painful I've ever had so that's good for her And of course I think my surgeon was the best--he came out of Rush Pres, Hospital in Chgo. So u have a lot to choose from and I'm sure u'll all make the right choice.Good Luck I was just thinking, u do know chances are whoever ahe goes to will no doubt remove her breast and lymphnodes too..

I can't praise my plastic surgeon enough.  He is located in the UK and works for the NHS (social medicine) and privately.  His name is Venkat Ramakrishnan.  He has the reputation for being the best in Europe.  His surgical team is also amazing.  Only the very best work with him.

Several people have commented on this, but I'll add to it... For some reason, people get sent straight to a surgeon when they have breast cancer and can be rushed into decisions. As some have suggested, a team approach can be best in most cases. I wouldn't do anything without consulting with an oncologist first and getting several opinions on both oncologists and surgeons. You see the breast surgeon a few times, but you MO is the one who manages your care and makes the critical decisions, and follows you for years. With a tumor of the size that the original poster mentioned (10 cm) doing neoadjuvant chemo (before surgery) might be recommended. As mentioned, it might be a means to avoid mastectomy. In my case, chemo eradicated all of the invasive cancer. In my opinion, more important than possibly saving the breast, is knowing that the chemo is working. If the breast is gone, they don't know if all the chemo they're putting you through is working. And since chemo is systemic, you want it to be effective at killing any cancer cells that have gotten loose in your body. So if your oncologist observes after a few cycles of chemo that it isn't working, the chemo protocol can be changed. This also buys you time to research the options of reconstruction. In my case, I was being steered into implants and thought it was pretty much the only choice. Only toward the very end of six months of chemo did I start reading about autologous flap reconstruction and after some research, decided that this was the best option for me.

Anthony Lucci at M D Anderson. Superb surgeon. Very confident of type of surgery he prescribes. Felt at ease from first time I met him. Listens to you and makes you feel comfortable. Awesome team. They have answered my every question to best and replied my calls within few hrs. I was referred to him by a radiologist friend at M D A. I had been to Kelsey Seabold to Dr Terent Baker who again is a superb surgeon referred by another doctor friend of mine for a second opinion. He also spoke very highly about Dr Lucci.

My Breast Sx Monica Morrow at MSK got great margins on my mastectomy. She sucks at pain control. but I'll take great margins over pain control anyday
