About the Procedure
What is Modified Radical Mastectomy?
Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM) is a surgical procedure that removes the entire breast tissue, the nipple-areola complex, and the axillary (underarm) lymph nodes, while preserving the chest wall muscles. It is commonly performed for invasive breast cancer when breast-conserving surgery is not suitable, or as per patient preference, and helps determine cancer staging through lymph node examination. The procedure is often combined with reconstructive options depending on patient suitability and preference.
Who may be considered?
Modified Radical Mastectomy may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
The standard surgical approach involving an elliptical incision to remove all breast tissue and axillary lymph nodes in a single operation.
2 approaches available for this procedure:
Conventional Open Modified Radical Mastectomy
Most CommonThe standard surgical approach involving an elliptical incision to remove all breast tissue and axillary lymph nodes in a single operation.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $300 - $900
Mammography, Breast Ultrasound, Core Needle Biopsy with histopathology, CBC, Liver and Kidney Function Tests, Coagulation Profile, ECG, Chest X-ray, CT Chest/Abdomen or PET-CT for staging, HER2/ER/PR receptor testing
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $3,500 - $6,500
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1-2 days
Hospitalisation: ~3-4 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~3-4 weeks recommended
Total stay: approx 4-5 weeks
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Pre-operative anesthesia and surgical consultations
- Surgeon, anesthetist and OT charges
- Standard private room stay for planned duration
- Histopathology of removed tissue and lymph nodes
- Routine post-operative medications and dressings
- One follow-up consultation before discharge
Usually Not Included
- Chemotherapy, radiotherapy or hormonal therapy after surgery
- Breast reconstruction surgery (if opted separately)
- International/domestic flight and visa costs
- Extended hospital stay due to complications
- PET-CT or advanced staging scans if not pre-arranged
Recovery and follow-up
Most patients are mobile within 24-48 hours and discharged within 3-7 days depending on reconstruction status, with drains typically removed within 1-2 weeks; full recovery and return to normal activities usually take 4-6 weeks, alongside physiotherapy for arm mobility.
Risks
Potential risks include bleeding, infection, seroma formation, lymphedema of the arm, temporary or permanent numbness in the chest/arm area, and reconstruction-related complications such as implant infection or flap failure.
Alternatives
Depending on tumor size and stage, alternatives may include breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) with radiotherapy, neoadjuvant chemotherapy to shrink the tumor before surgery, or in select cases, simple mastectomy without full axillary lymph node dissection.
What we need to prepare a formal estimate
Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.

Common questions
FAQs about Modified Radical Mastectomy in India
What is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is a malignant tumour originating in the cells of the breast, most commonly in the milk ducts (ductal carcinoma) or lobules (lobular carcinoma), which has the potential to invade nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body. It is classified by its molecular subtype, grade, and stage, all of which inform the most appropriate course of management.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Breast Cancer?
Common signs include a new lump or thickening in the breast or armpit, changes in breast size or shape, skin dimpling or puckering, nipple discharge (particularly if bloodstained), nipple inversion, or persistent pain in one area of the breast. In more advanced cases, swelling of the arm, bone pain, or unexplained weight loss may occur. These symptoms can also be caused by non-cancerous conditions, so their presence alone does not confirm a diagnosis of breast cancer.
How is Breast Cancer diagnosed?
Diagnosis is typically established through a combination of imaging — most commonly mammography and ultrasound, with MRI used in selected cases — and a tissue biopsy, which allows pathologists to confirm malignancy and determine the tumour's grade and receptor status (oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2). Staging, from Stage I through Stage IV, is then assessed using clinical examination, pathology results, and where indicated, further imaging such as CT or bone scans to evaluate whether the cancer has spread beyond the breast. All of these findings are reviewed together by a qualified clinician to determine the most appropriate individual management plan.
How is Breast Cancer treated?
Treatment for breast cancer is highly individualised and depends on the tumour's stage, grade, molecular subtype, the patient's overall health, and personal preferences. Surgical options available through our directory include lumpectomy, mastectomy, modified radical mastectomy, sentinel lymph node biopsy, oncoplastic breast surgery, and breast reconstruction, each suited to different clinical scenarios. These procedures are commonly combined with systemic treatments such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, or immunotherapy, and with radiotherapy, to reduce the risk of recurrence — the precise combination being determined by a multidisciplinary team following full assessment.
Can Breast Cancer be treated without a procedure?
Non-surgical treatments play a central role in breast cancer management and are used either alongside surgery or, in some cases, as the primary approach — for example, hormone therapy alone in frail or elderly patients with hormone-receptor-positive disease who are not surgical candidates. Systemic options include chemotherapy, hormone (endocrine) therapy, HER2-targeted therapy, and immunotherapy; some patients also receive neoadjuvant (pre-operative) systemic therapy to reduce tumour size before surgery. Radiotherapy is frequently recommended after breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy to reduce the risk of local recurrence. The role and sequence of each non-surgical treatment is determined on an individual basis by the treating oncology team.
When is Modified Radical Mastectomy considered for Breast Cancer?
Modified Radical Mastectomy may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is typically managed by a multidisciplinary team led by a surgical oncologist and a medical oncologist, working alongside a radiation oncologist, breast radiologist, and pathologist. Plastic and reconstructive surgeons may also be involved when breast reconstruction is planned.
How do I choose a doctor for Breast Cancer?
When selecting a provider, look for a surgical or medical oncologist with documented experience in breast cancer specifically, working within a hospital that offers a formal multidisciplinary tumour board, access to the full range of systemic therapies, and clear pathways for follow-up care and survivorship support.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
