🎀 While some breast cancer risk factors can’t be changed, others can — and small lifestyle changes may make a meaningful difference over time.

Maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol, and staying physically active are all associated with lowering breast cancer risk.

✨ The key? Everything in moderation.

You do not need perfection — just sustainable habits that support your overall health. 💕

Talk with your doctor about your personal risk factors and screening recommendations.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) helps determine if breast cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. New research shows some patients with early-stage breast cancer may safely avoid this procedure.

Treatment should always be individualized — consider seeking care from a fellowship-trained breast surgeon for specialized, evidence-based recommendations. 💗

Granulomatous mastitis is a rare inflammatory breast condition that can sometimes mimic breast cancer or infection. Symptoms may include breast pain, redness or skin color changes, a mass/lump, drainage, or even open wounds. Diagnosis often requires imaging and biopsy to rule out other conditions. Early evaluation by a breast specialist is important for proper treatment and support. 💗

Always special working alongside fellow Fort Myers natives who returned home to care for the community that raised us. Even more meaningful carrying on the legacy of our dads, who were also longtime local physicians.

Grateful to work with such talented colleagues — and even better to genuinely enjoy the people you work with every day. ❤️

With Dr. Sharma, Dr. Soker, and Dr. V

Melanoma Awareness Month

Awareness leads to early detection.
Action leads to better outcomes.

A melanoma diagnosis should prompt evaluation by a specialized melanoma surgeon to guide:

• Surgical management
• Possible Sentinel lymph node biopsy to assess for spread

See something. Check it.
Diagnosed? See a melanoma surgeon.

Because the right treatment plan starts with the right specialist.
