Very professional, beautiful patient Consultant manner. All detail explained throughly, with a reassuring message that you matter and “everything will be done to aid you to recovery.” Easy to approach with regard to queries. Mr Masannat, is simply the best in his field.

A really professional & courteous man, who makes his patients feel at ease with his confident manner. Explains in detail the procedure of your operation ahead with his team. I can’t thank him enough for my successful surgery, and essentially saving my life. Once again thank you & from all my family

I am extremely happy and grateful for the way Mr Masannat dealt with my appointments. His manner was professional and confident but friendly and reassuring, my situation was explained thoroughly in an easy to understand way. I was always treated very respectfully and I am confident I received the best possible service.

Mr Masannat is a lovely, kind doctor who put me immediately at ease. He took time to explain in layperson’s terms precisely what he would be doing and whether I had any questions about the procedure.
5
Absolutely wonderful professional care. From first appointment throughout to surgery and post care - can’t praise enough. Lovely manner and very thorough explanations - truly shows compassion and care for his patients.
5
I had a consultation with Mr Masannat during my initial breast cancer diagnsosis at NHS Scotland when the pre chemo surgical options were being explored, and I further sought private appointment with Mr Masannat in the years following the various aspects of breast cancer treatment. Mr Masannat will be a much missed consult in both private and public care. Personally, I found Mr Masnnat to have a very genuine, empathetic and kind manner that allowed me to feel really listened to and understood. In the chaos and whirlwind of diagnosis, I felt information was presented in a clear and calm manner with all possible options detailed and explained and which was important when in midst of a very overwhelming experience, and it is empowering to have clear information to make informed choices. I will always be very grateful to Mr Masannat for his part in my multi discipline support, and as many others, very sad to see him go.

Targeted axillary dissection: worldwide variations in clinical practice - Breast Cancer Research and Treatment
Purpose Targeted axillary dissection (TAD) for the axillary staging of clinically node-positive (cN +) breast cancer patients converting to clinically node negative post neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), has gained popularity due to its minimal false negative rate and low arm morbidity. The aim of this study is to shed more light on the variation in the clinical practice globally in terms of indications and perceived limitations of TAD. Methods A panel of expert breast surgeons constructed a structured questionnaire comprising of 18 questions and asked surgeons worldwide for their opinions and routine practice on TAD. The questionnaire was electronically distributed and answers were collected between May 1st and August 1st 2022. Results Responses included 137 entries from 36 countries. Of them, 73.7% consider TAD for cN + patients planned to receive NAC. Among them, the greatest number of respondents (45%) perform the procedure for tumours up to T3, whereas 27% regardless of T-stage. The majority (42%) perform TAD on patients with 1–3 positive nodes and only 30% consider TAD when matted nodes are present. HER2 positive and Triple Negative subtypes are more likely to undergo TAD than Luminal A and B (86%, 79.1%, 39.5%, and 62.8%, respectively). Maximum acceptable lymph node burden is median 3 nodes for any subtype with a tendency to accept more positive nodes for Triple Negative. Conclusion This study demonstrates the differences in current practice regarding TAD as well as the fact that the biology of the tumour heavily affects the method of axillary staging.
