About Korea Breast Care
Independent information for a complex treatment decision.
Korea Breast Care organizes information about breast cancer diagnosis, surgery and reconstruction for international patients considering treatment in Korea.
We explain the treatment pathway, summarize published research and help patients understand what information may be required before a specialist review.
Korea Breast Care is not a hospital and does not independently diagnose breast cancer, prescribe treatment or guarantee access to a particular operation.
Final treatment decisions must be made by licensed clinicians after reviewing the patient's complete medical information.
Our editorial principles
Cancer treatment comes before promotion.
We do not describe an operation as desirable simply because it is available in Korea.
Evidence requires context.
Every research summary should identify the study design, population, main limitations and the difference between a group-level result and an individual treatment decision.
Newer does not automatically mean better.
New surgical technology should be compared with established alternatives and evaluated through appropriate follow-up.
Reconstruction is optional.
We provide information about reconstruction without assuming that every patient wants or requires it.
Uncertainty should be visible.
When evidence is incomplete, historical or based on selected patients, the limitation should appear beside the claim rather than being hidden in a general disclaimer.
