AP: AOI Mangalagiri successfully treats 3 high-risk patients with carcinoma breast

Vijayawada, April 24 (UNI) American Oncology Institute (AOI) in Mangalagiri, near here, successfully treated three high-risk patients with carcinoma breast using a novel anaesthetic technique, marking a significant milestone in cancer care.
Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) with axillary dissection is a standard surgical procedure for breast cancer treatment, typically performed under general anaesthesia. However, patients with severe comorbidities such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiomyopathy, and chronic kidney disease face increased risks with general anaesthesia.
In response to this challenge, AOI in Mangalagiri introduced a pioneering approach by utilizing Paravertebral block (PVB) along with pectoral nerves (PECS) block as the primary anaesthetic technique. This innovative method allowed the patients to undergo MRM surgery safely and successfully, without the risks associated with general anaesthesia.
