The department specializes in the treatment of various types of breast cancer (recurrent, metastatic, hereditary) in women of all age groups, treatment of breast cancer during pregnancy, male breast cancer and benign breast diseases. The department treats more than 2,000 patients every year. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Im Young Hyuck.

  • Oncoplastic breast surgery
