Dr. Raksha R

I have pursued focused training in breast cancer management and oncoplastic techniques through mentorship, observerships and specialized workshops at reputed national and international institutions, including Stanford University School of Medicine, Tata Memorial Centre,Mumbai, MVR Cancer Centre and Research Institute, Apollo Athena Women’s Cancer Centre, IASO Breast oncoplasty modules and Chennai Breast Centre. My training includes advanced exposure to breast conservation surgery, sentinel lymph node biopsy, chest wall perforator flaps, and oncoplastic breast reconstruction techniques.

I have presented scientific work at several national and international oncology conferences, including the Congress of the European Society of Surgical Oncology in Antwerp, Belgium, under the IASO fellowship award category. My research interests include quality-of-life assessment in breast cancer patients, survivorship, lymphedema prevention strategies, enhanced recovery pathways, and outcomes in breast surgical oncology.

I actively participate in multidisciplinary tumor boards, academic teaching, surgical training programs, and breast cancer awareness initiatives. I have also been involved in quality improvement projects, including development of structured synoptic reporting systems and breast cancer databases to improve clinical documentation and patient care outcomes.

My approach to breast cancer treatment emphasizes evidence-based decision-making, precision surgery, multidisciplinary collaboration, and compassionate care tailored to each patient.
