The department of Breast and Thyroid Surgery provides medical treatment focuses on breast and thyroid cancer which includes benign breast diseases and endocrine tumors such as adrenal and parathyroid tumors. To this end, surgery department, oncology department, radiation oncology department, pathology department, radiology department, nuclear medicine department, plastic surgery department, and Korean gynecology department gather to provide multidisciplinary treatment that designs the best treatment for patients based on the latest knowledge from each area. As a result, KUIMS has been selected as a first-class hospital of breast cancer surgery for 4 consecutive years. We provide treatment that meets international standards, such as introducing a cancer genome analysis test to avoid unnecessary chemotherapy and providing specialized treatment consultation for hereditary breast cancer patients with BRCA1/2 mutations which require detailed management In addition, we manage Fast Tract Service for prompt and accurate diagnosis and optimal individualized treatment schedule within 7 days from the final diagnosis. We actively perform breast-conserving surgery and strive to preserve femininity as much as possible through a team collaboration with plastic surgery in case of full breast resection. 

The thyroid cancer treatment team at KUIMS follow the certified academic guidelines and try to perform partial thyroidectomy rather than total thyroidectomy to minimize the deterioration of quality of life due to the aftereffects. We do maximize the surgical treatment effects and gain patients’ trust by performing the entire surgical process by dedicated professors directly.
