With advanced breast cancer infrastructure, University Hospital offers Mastectomy for patients requiring surgical treatment or risk-reducing breast surgery. Established in 1842, the SAC accredited hospital is located in Basel, Switzerland, and has 773 beds.

Mastectomy may be recommended for selected breast cancers, extensive disease, recurrence, or certain individuals at high genetic risk. Depending on the case, surgeons may remove the breast while preserving the skin or nipple when clinically appropriate. Lymph-node assessment and breast reconstruction may also form part of the overall treatment plan.
