Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Dr Eva Nagy

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month begins this week, we’ll start seeing pink awareness efforts everywhere. Pink products will line the shelves at stores, awareness and fundraising ads will showcase celebrities wearing pink ribbons, some even articulating a specific person or family member affected by breast cancer for whom they’re dedicating their efforts. Raising awareness is a great thing.  Breast cancer is a public health concern that’s a year-round issue, but it’s good to draw more attention to the issue from time to time. Awareness of disease begins with education. Breast cancer is no different. It’s important to understand what it is so you know what to do if you are or your loved one is diagnosed. While most people are aware that breast cancer exists, there’s still much that can be done to educate people about it. 

In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Dr Eva Nagy. 

Dr Eva Nagy is the Consultant Breast Surgeon at Sydney Oncoplastic Surgery. Upon completing her training and becoming a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, Eva embarked on sub-specialty training in Breast Surgery. These stints saw her receive comprehensive instruction in advanced surgical techniques relevant to breast cancer at the Poche Centre in North Sydney, and at the Nottingham Breast Institute, a class-leading breast cancer treatment centre in the United Kingdom. 

While Eva offers the full suite of surgical options for breast cancer patients, her professional interests include the use of breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) for patients where mastectomies are not a necessity and the use of plastic techniques to help restore appearances after cancer surgery. 

She is continually mindful of patients' emotional well-being and quality of life when discussing treatment plans, and always ensures that patient health is never compromised. Additionally, through working alongside field-leading oncoplastic specialists during her fellowship training, Eva gained significant expertise in reconstructive techniques for patients with complex situations or who require corrective surgical treatment for prior breast surgery. 

Her ongoing research in breast cancer has provided her with opportunities to present her findings in conferences such as the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, and the Association of Breast Surgery Conference in Glasgow.  

Her current research explores the feasibility of safely de-escalating treatment protocols for cancer patients. 

Join us as Dr Eva shares the biggest misconception, treatments and innovation for breast cancer.
