When Prof Dato’ Dr Yip Cheng Har first started surgical training in 1982, there were no breast surgeons because breast surgery was part of general surgery. But decades later, a lot have changed. We speak to one of the most well-known breast surgeons in the country as she recounts her journey in shaping the breast surgery landscape in the country over the years. She also introduces intraoperative radiation therapy, a relatively new technique in treating early breast cancer.
