Fibroadenoma care at DIEVO Medical and Surgical Center in Kyiv, Ukraine, includes breast tests and surgical removal. A surgeon consultation may cost around $20. Selected minimally invasive procedures have recovery periods of up to 3 days.
Diagnosis and biopsy
Dr. Vitaliy Volodymyrovych Zaichuk, a surgeon-mammologist and oncologist with a PhD, performs breast consultations and surgery at DIEVO.
- Clinical breast examination: A mammologist examines and feels the breast in different body positions.
- Breast ultrasound: Ultrasound checks the breast tissue.
- Needle biopsy: Fine-needle aspiration provides cells for cytology; core biopsy provides tissue for histology.
- Other tests: The clinic offers open surgical biopsy and hormone tests for prolactin, progesterone, and estradiol.
- Imaging and tissue review: Mammography uses direct and side views for women over 40. MRI is available when indicated, with histology before and after surgery.
Surgical options for fibroadenoma
The clinic treats fibroadenoma with surgery rather than conservative care. Sectoral resection and enucleation include mandatory express biopsy during surgery.
- Sectoral resection: Removes the breast section containing the tumor while preserving the breast. Recovery may take up to 3 days.
- Enucleation with express biopsy: Removes the fibroadenoma by shelling it out, with an intraoperative frozen-section biopsy. Recovery may take up to 3 days.
- Lumpectomy: Removes the lump and a margin of surrounding tissue.
- Quadrantectomy: Removes a breast quadrant as an organ-preserving operation.
- Subcutaneous mastectomy with endoprosthetics: Removes glandular tissue and rebuilds the breast with an implant. The clinic lists this option for extensive or recurrent disease, with plastic surgeons performing reconstruction.
- Wide sectoral resection: Used for phyllodes, or leaf-shaped, fibroadenoma. Recurrent cases may require breast amputation.
The center has HEPA-filtered operating rooms and a 24/7 inpatient and intensive care unit. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.
