Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Breast Cancer Surgery. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Breast cancer surgery is the surgical removal of cancerous tissue from the breast, and it forms the cornerstone of local treatment for most women with early or locally advanced breast cancer. The two broad categories are breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy), which removes only the tumour and a margin of surrounding healthy tissue while preserving most of the breast, and mastectomy, which removes the entire breast. Several mastectomy techniques exist — including total mastectomy, modified radical mastectomy, skin-sparing, and nipple-sparing — each suited to different tumour characteristics and patient preferences. Lymph node assessment under the arm is performed alongside almost all breast cancer operations, either as a minimally invasive sentinel lymph node biopsy or, when needed, a fuller axillary dissection. Many patients also have the option of immediate or delayed breast reconstruction. Surgery is rarely performed in isolation; it is coordinated with chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy, or targeted therapy as part of a multidisciplinary treatment plan.
Only the tumour and a small rim of healthy tissue are removed, preserving most of the breast — almost always followed by radiation therapy.

Cancer removal is combined with plastic-surgery reshaping of the breast at the same operation, allowing wider excision while preserving a good cosmetic result.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: Mammogram and/or breast ultrasound (if not recent), MRI breast (required for oncoplastic planning), Core needle biopsy review / histopathology confirmation, Hormone receptor and HER2 status (ER/PR/HER2 report), CBC, LFT, KFT, blood sugar, Chest X-ray, ECG. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $5,000 – $8,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~5 days
