About MIMOSA
Our Purpose
Minimally Invasive, Minimal Access Oncoplastic Breast Surgery Singapore (MIMOSA) is a professional society that brings together surgeons, doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, researchers, and trainees who share an interest in improving breast cancer care through minimally invasive and oncoplastic techniques.
By promoting education, research, and collaboration, the society seeks to strengthen expertise and advance standards of care in breast surgery across Singapore and the region.
Advancing Patient-Centred Care
Why We Matter
Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide. As treatment evolves, surgery is increasingly focused not only on cancer control but also on preserving body image and quality of life.
Through education, research, and collaboration, MIMOSA contributes to the continued improvement of breast cancer treatment and patient outcomes.
