For Esther Ozeryansky, M.D., FACS, breast surgical oncologist at Memorial Breast Cancer Center, part of Memorial Healthcare System, treating breast cancer means considering both a patient’s outcome and how they will feel after surgery.
By incorporating oncoplastic techniques, which integrate plastic surgery approaches with breast tumor removal, Dr. Ozeryansky can focus on treating the cancer while achieving better cosmetic outcomes.
“Instead of patients feeling deformed after surgery, we want them to feel confident,” Dr. Ozeryansky said.
Early detection remains equally critical. Finding breast cancer sooner can increase the likelihood of successful treatment and cure while potentially giving patients more options for their care.
Dr. Ozeryansky was drawn to breast surgery by the opportunity to make a tangible difference during a vulnerable time in patients’ lives. She is equally motivated by a field that continues to evolve through research and innovation, allowing her to guide patients through treatment while helping them move forward with confidence.
