Breast Disease
Simple cysts or fibrocysts and fibroadenomas are the benign lesions of the breast. They have no malignant potential but need close follow-up. They are usually controlled for every 6 months with physical examination and radiological evaluation (Breast ultrasound usually). Some cysts and fibroadenomas need core biopsy or surgical excision. This decision is made upon advise of Breast Surgeon.

Treatment
Treatment of Breast cancer is in combination of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. Every patient should be managed individually. Expectations of the patient and postsurgical results are evaluated. Oncoplastic surgery can be performed with acceptable aesthetic results. Silicone prosthesis or musculocutaneous flaps can be used to replace breast tissue. Some patients recieve Neoadjuvant chemotherapy before the operation. For more info please contact your physician.
Thyroıd Surgery
Thyroid gland is located in the neck region. It secretes thyroid hormones that regulate multiple functions in the body. Low secretion of these hormones is named as Hypothyroidism whereas high secretions is Hyperthyroidism. Goiter is enlargement of throid tissue.
Thyroid nodules are usually round-shaped lump located in thyroid gland. They are usually benign but some may be malignant. Thyroid nodules are followed by physical examination and neck ultrasound. Some nodules need Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) to be examined for Pathology. According to pathology result and ultrasound findings some patient need surgery. Thyroid lobectomy and Total thyroidectomy can both be performed. In recent years a new novel technique was described; TOETVA (Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach). In this technique there is no visual scar in the neck because the procedure is done transorally (via the mouth). Thyroidectomy is also indicated in some selected patients with benign nodules, Grave's Disease,
