Your Cancer Answers: What is a breast surgical oncologist?

2021-07-22 - 2021-07

A breast surgical oncologist is a surgeon who specializes in breast cancer and other diseases of the breast. Mission Hope Cancer Center is proud to have Colleen O’Kelly Priddy, MD, join our team as our Breast Surgical Oncologist. Dr. O’Kelly is Board Certified in Surgery and subspecialized in Breast Surgical Oncology. She joins a caring, compassionate team that has dedicated their time and knowledge to serve the community members that may be faced with abnormalities of the breast. When faced with breast cancer, a surgical oncologist is trained to treat cancer by removing cancerous tissues and surgical management of tumors. Breast surgeons specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions in which patients experience masses, lumps, infection, and pain in the breasts. Breast specialists are highly skilled in their field because they have dedicated their practice to a smaller scope and have completed specialty-specific training called fellowships. The formal training provided by the fellowship ensures that each fellow who graduated is exposed to multidisciplinary aspects of care and advanced research and techniques. With years of training and years of education focused on breast disease, they have an in-depth knowledge of cancer biology, genetics, and the most advanced surgical options to help patients achieve the best possible results and can provide novel and innovative treatments for breast cancer patients.
