The specialty practice of Alaska Surgical Oncology specializes in the assessment and treatment of all types of breast cancer with a focus on preserving the cosmetic appearance of the female breast. Breast reconstruction can often be done at the same time as the breast cancer surgery if mastectomy is chosen. Dr. Portera often teams with a plastic surgeon for the best possible breast appearance. If staged or delayed reconstruction is needed, Dr. Portera and the plastic surgeon will work with the patient to determine optimal timing.
