Our Services

Diagnostic services

  • 3D Digital Mammography (Tomosynthesis)
  • High-resolution dedicated breast sonography with elastography
  • 3T MRI with dedicated breast coil
  • Vacuum assisted biopsy
  • Stereotactic biopsy
  • All image-guided interventional services like aspirations, core biopsy, wire localisation, and clip placement

Our surgical treatment for breast cancer delivers excellent results, and is suitable and recommended for clinical or cosmetic objectives:

1) Breast conservation surgeries
  • To treat small breast cancer tumours
  • To eliminate the need for complete breast removal
2) Sentinel Node Biopsy
  • To minimise arm swelling and pain arising from auxiliary node removal. This is done during surgery for breast cancer
3) Breast Reconstruction Surgery
  • Done post-removal of complete breasts
  • Advanced techniques untilised to make new breasts
  • Reconstructed with implants or body tissue
4) Advanced Cosmetic Surgery
  • Breast augmentation or reduction
  • Mastopexy (Breast Lift)
5) Oncoplastic Surgeries
  • Advanced, less invasive techniques for precise cancer targeting
  • Minimal scarring, maximum cosmetic care
6) Scarless Surgeries
  • The scarless surgery for breast cancer is a procedure where small benign adenomas can be removed completely without leaving any scar and without general anaesthesia using a vacuum-assisted breast biopsy system on a daycare basis. This is done under local anaesthesia with the complete removal of the lesions and quick recovery.

Systemic Therapy for Breast Cancer Treamtment
We offer multiple medical modalities for the breast cancer treatment, including chemotherapy and targeted therapy. All these modalities are suggested to a patient according to the particular stage and biopsy of cancer.

1. DIBH (Deep Inspiratory Breath Hold)
Radiation therapy to the left-sided breast or chest wall poses a unique challenge because of the proximity of the heart and lungs. In Deep Inspiratory Breath Hold (DIBH), the patient holds their breath in deep inspiration during treatment delivery. In DIBH, because of full lung expansion, the heart gets pushed away from the chest wall, which reduces the radiation dose received by the heart by 50–70%. This reduces late cardiac toxicities significantly.

2. APBI (Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation)
APBI is short-course, high-dose radiotherapy delivered to the partial breast or tumour bed area. This treatment can be given to a select group of patients with early-stage disease. In APBI, radiotherapy is delivered in a twice-a-day schedule for 5 days only instead of 1 or 1.5 month-long treatment.

3. Interstitial Implant Brachytherapy
In this technique of breast radiotherapy, specialised Nylon catheters are inserted in the tumour bed cavity during primary surgery. Radiotherapy is started on the third postoperative day through these brachytherapy catheters and is given on a twice-a-day schedule for 5 days. So the entire radiation therapy schedule gets over in one week of postoperative period when the patient is still admitted to the ward.

Senographe Pristina Mammography Suite at Ruby Hall Clinic

An ambient and soothing set-up to offer complete privacy and comfort. Innovative and advanced digital 3D imaging to make the mammography experience very comfortable.
  • Lowest radiation dose amongst all 3D Tomosynthesis machines
  • Allows faster admission, reducing the time of breast compression.
  • Has a special feature, allowing self-breast compression by the patient
  • Helps reduce patient anxiety with better ergonomic design
  • Remarkable image quality for accurate diagnosis
  • High-resolution monitors to evaluate the images, for better interpretation
  • Lesser retakes and better cancer detection

Mammography equipped with stereotactic breast biopsy

A type of breast biopsy that helps locate small abnormalities like microcalcifications and areas of architectural distortions that may represent early malignancy, and provides samples for diagnosis from these clinically non-palpable abnormalities.
  • Uses low-dose x-rays
  • Less invasive than surgical biopsy, done as an OPD procedure
  • Minimal scarring & tissue damage
  • More superior than ultrasounds in sampling microcalcifications
  • Can help diagnose stage 0 disease

3T MRI Breast with dedicated Breast Coil

State-of-the-art technique for breast imaging for accurate diagnosis and monitoring of therapy, a problem-solving tool with high sensitivity and specificity
  • Helps in early & reliable diagnosis
  • Its precise nature helps during difficult cases.
  • High-quality, high-resolution imaging of breasts
  • High sensitivity and specificity due to standardised protocols
  • Useful in screening young high-risk patients, especially those with dense parenchyma.

BARD-BBD Encor Enspire VAB: Vacuum-assisted Breast Biopsy System

A smart biopsy system to increase the efficiency and accuracy of diagnosis and advanced treatments without surgery
  • Type of scarless surgery, done under local anaesthesia
  • Larger tissue acquisition for better histological diagnosis
  • OPD Procedure: No admission is required
  • Requires no breast incisions or sutures; only a needle is inserted to biopsy or remove the ‘lesion.’
  • Safer and easier as compared to open breast surgery
  • Faster recovery time for patients

Voluson E6 and logic E-9 and EPIC: Ultrasound with Elastography: High-End Dedicated USG machines

The USG done in the Pristina suite provides better patient experience and care. A high-resolution ultrasound system that provides clinical excellence, through exact imaging with the help of dedicated linear and hockey stick high-resolution probes of the breast
  • High-resolution 2D, 3D image quality
  • Very accurate in characterising masses for early diagnoses
  • Very suitable for all guided interventions like core biopsy, wire localisations, cysts, abscess
  • aspirations, and clip placements.

Breast Intervention Procedures

The department of breast imaging at Ruby Hall Clinic is well equipped to carry out all breast intervention procedures, while adhering to all international guidelines.

Fine Needle Aspirations

For aspiration of symptomatic simple or complicated cysts, abscesses, galaxies, postoperative collections, etc.

Core Needle Biopsy

The biopsy is done using single-use disposable biopsy guns for accurate and fast histological diagnosis. They are performed under image guidance with the use of local anaesthesia and strict aseptic measures.

Wire Localisations

Done for minimally invasive, accurate surgeries for non-palpable masses, sometimes for determining the histology of microcalcifications, and in post-NACT cases

Clip Placement

Done for large tumours undergoing neo adjuvant chemotherapy for later localisation for surgery.

Sterotactic Breast Biopsy

For determining the histology of suspicious microcalcifications detected on mammography.

Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy and Resection

This is done with the use of a special biopsy system with USG or mammography guidance. Gives a better sample for better histology assessment.

Vacuum-assisted Resection

This is done under USG guidance for removal of benign tumours under local anaesthesia with the use of a special biopsy system. All the sample is then sent to the LAB, which is equipped to do complete analysis, like histology and immunohistochemistry like ER/PR, Her 2 neu, Ki67, and FISH of the sample for a final accurate histology diagnosis. The Breast team of doctors meets regularly to discuss all daily cases and also conducts weekly multidisciplinary meetings for comprehensive patient care and follow-up. Appropriate patient care and comfort are always kept at the forefront of the running of this department.
