Breast Surgery Clinic
The Oklahoma Breast Center Breast Surgery Clinic is led by
Denise Rable, MD, a board-certified and fellowship-trained Breast Surgical Oncologist, and
Jeneice Miller, APRN-CNP, AGN-BC, a certified nurse practitioner.
When it comes to dealing with breast cancer, surgery remains a crucial
part of the treatment puzzle. It involves checking those lymph nodes to
see if they’re involved in any way. As you’re thinking about
surgery, our team at The Oklahoma Breast Center is here to talk with you
about your choices. These can range from keeping most of your breast with
breast conservation surgery to going for a full mastectomy.
We offer a multidisciplinary approach to breast cancer treatment, including
breast biopsy, conservation, genetic testing, and more.
Our Breast Surgery team helps patients who need:
Breast biopsy
Breast conservation
Cancer genetic testing and counseling
Immediate breast reconstruction
Lumpectomy
Mastectomy with and without reconstruction
Nipple-sparing mastectomy
Oncoplastic breast surgery
There are two breast surgery clinic locations, one in Norman and the other
in north Oklahoma City.
The Breast Surgery Clinic is conveniently located on the first floor inside
the Women’s Healthcare Plaza at 3440 RC Luttrell Dr, Suite 102,
Norman, OK. This building has close parking.
Breast Screening
Most lumps are not cancerous, but when a suspicious mass is diagnosed and
treated early, the chance of a cure is very good. Mammography provides
that early warning, especially when used in combination with a physical
exam. Breast screening can be done through Breast Imaging Services.

Nipple Sparing Mastectomy
Nipple Sparing Mastectomy represents a significant surgical advancement
for women facing breast removal due to breast cancer or as a preventive
measure for risk reduction surgery. This innovative procedure involves
the meticulous removal of all breast glandular tissue from beneath the
skin and nipple through a small incision.
It’s important to note that the successful execution of nipple-sparing
mastectomy relies on the expertise of highly trained and experienced breast
surgical oncologists. These specialists consistently achieve high overall
success rates with this procedure. While nipple-sparing mastectomy may
not be suitable for all patients, it does present a valuable option for
those who qualify.
Understanding Breast Cancer Risk Factors & Genetic Counseling
In the context of disease, a risk factor is any element that heightens
the likelihood of its occurrence, including conditions like breast cancer.
It’s important to note, however, that having one or multiple risk
factors doesn’t guarantee that you’ll develop the disease.
Some breast cancer risk factors are beyond your control, such as the natural
aging process or inheriting specific genetic alterations, which can elevate
your breast cancer risk.
Jeneice Miller, APRN-CNP, AGN-BC, a Certified Genetics Nurse, specializes
in managing high-risk patients. She offers expert genetic counseling and
testing services, following the latest guidelines from national oncology
societies.
Male Breast Cancer in Oklahoma
While male breast cancer is less common than its female counterpart, it
carries an excellent prognosis when detected in its early stages. One
key factor contributing to delayed diagnoses is a lack of awareness. Unlike
many women who are familiar with recognizing potential signs of breast
cancer, men often have less awareness, making them less likely to seek
early medical assistance.
Potential symptoms of male breast cancer to be aware of include:
A painless lump in one breast
Nipple retraction, ulceration, or discharge
Skin changes on the breast, such as puckering or dimpling
Redness or scaling of the skin on the breast or nipple
If you observe any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to consult your
doctor promptly. It’s worth noting that we have successfully treated
numerous male breast cancer patients, and early detection can make a significant
difference in outcomes.
