Women identified and confirmed as having breast cancer generally see either a general surgeon who sub-specializes in breast surgery or a specialist breast surgeon. The surgeon will explain treatment options and support the woman in making an informed choice. Treatment options may include adjunctive treatment (e.g. radiotherapy, chemotherapy) and / or surgery (partial or full mastectomy surgery; immediate or delayed reconstructive breast surgery). While mastectomy may be provided within at the local hospital, reconstructive breast surgery is typically undertaken by plastic surgeons at Hutt Hospital.
